BACKGROUND We previously reported significant associations between genetic variants in insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS1) and breast cancer risk in women carrying BRCA1 mutations. The objectives of this study were to investigate whether the IRS1 variants modified ovarian cancer risk and were associated with breast cancer risk in a larger cohort of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers. METHODS I...
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes involved in the DNA Base Excision Repair (BER) pathway could be associated with cancer risk in carriers of mutations in the high-penetrance susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2, given the relation of synthetic lethality that exists between one of the components of the BER pathway, PARP1 (poly ADP ribose polymerase), and both BRCA1 and BRCA2. In th...
PURPOSE The aim of this study is to further understand the status of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation among Chinese high-risk breast cancer patients in multiple-ethnic regions of China. METHODS A total of 79 blood samples of high-risk breast cancer patients from Xinjiang Uyghur autonomous region were analyzed by PCR-DHPLC sequencing analysis. RESULTS Analysis with full length of the two genes ident...
The spectrum of mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 among African Americans has not been well characterized because most studies to date have been done in Caucasian families. According to Myriad Genetic Laboratories, Inc., only approximately 3% of individuals undergoing BRCA1/BRCA2 testing reported African American ancestry. Data from previous studies show that among African American women a greater p...
The breast cancer susceptibility gene, BRCA1, was isolated in 1994. Recent investigations into the genetic epidemiology of BRCA1 have revealed an unexpectedly high prevalence of mutations amongst Ashkenazi Jews. Analyses of BRCA1 function have indicated that it may act as an inhibitor of cell proliferation and is necessary for normal development in the mouse. The presence of a motif in BRCA1 ch...
The two major hereditary breast cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, are associated with early-onset breast and/or ovarian cancer and encode products that each interact with the product of the eukaryotic RecA homologue, hRad51. We have recently found that BRCA1 and BRCA2 coexist in a common biochemical complex. The two proteins also colocalize in subnuclear foci in somatic cells as wel...
BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations confer increased risk for development of breast cancer, but a number of additional, currently largely unknown, somatic genetic defects must also accumulate in the breast epithelial cells before malignancy develops. To evaluate the nature of these additional somatic genetic defects, we performed a genome-wide survey by comparative genomic hybridization on breast cancers...
BACKGROUND Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women in Algeria. The contribution of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations to hereditary breast/ovarian cancer in Algerian population is largely unknown. Here, we describe analysis of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes in 86 individuals from 70 families from an Algerian cohort with a personal and family history suggestive of genetic predisposition to bre...
Some recent evidence suggests that environmental and lifestyle factors may modify DNA methylation. We hypothesized that rotating night work and several modifiable factors may be associated with the methylation of the promoter regions within two tumor suppressor and DNA repair genes: BRCA1 and BRCA2. The methylation status of BRCA1 and BRCA2 was determined via qMSP reactions using DNA samples de...
The contribution of BRCA1 and BRCA2 to inherited breast cancer was assessed by linkage and mutation analysis in 237 families, each with at least four cases of breast cancer, collected by the Breast Cancer Linkage Consortium. Families were included without regard to the occurrence of ovarian or other cancers. Overall, disease was linked to BRCA1 in an estimated 52% of families, to BRCA2 in 32% o...
