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...
Familial breast and ovarian cancers are often defective in homologous recombination (HR) due to mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes. Cisplatin chemotherapy or poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors were tested for these tumors in clinical trials. In a screen for novel drugs that selectively kill BRCA2-defective cells, we identified 6-thioguanine (6TG), which induces DNA double-strand b...
The tumor suppressor gene breast cancer susceptibility gene 2 (BRCA2) is frequently mutated or epigenetically repressed in human cancer and has a significant role in the homologous recombination (HR) of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). Although N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA), N-nitrosodiethanolamine (NDELA) and N-nitrosodipropylamine (NDPA) have similar chemical structures and are able to induce ...
Prostate cancer (PCa) has a distinct molecular signature, including characteristic chromosomal translocations, gene deletions and defective DNA damage repair mechanisms. One crucial pathway involved is homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) it found in almost 20% of metastatic castrate-resistant PCa (mCRPC). Inherited/germline mutations are associated with hereditary predisposition to early ...
Poly(ADP-ribose) (PAR) polymerase 1 (PARP1) is activated by DNA single-strand breaks (SSB) or at stalled replication forks to facilitate DNA repair. Inhibitors of PARP efficiently kill breast, ovarian, or prostate tumors in patients carrying hereditary mutations in the homologous recombination (HR) genes BRCA1 or BRCA2 through synthetic lethality. Here, we surprisingly show that PARP1 is hypera...
Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest cancers worldwide, and life expectancy after diagnosis is often short. Most pancreatic tumours appear sporadically and have been highly related to habits such as cigarette smoking, high alcohol intake, high carbohydrate, and sugar consumption. Other observational studies have suggested the association between pancreatic cancer and exposure to arsenic, l...
RAD51 is an important component of double-stranded DNA-repair mechanisms that interacts with both BRCA1 and BRCA2. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) of RAD51, 135G-->C, has been suggested as a possible modifier of breast cancer risk in BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers. We pooled genotype data for 8,512 female mutation carriers from 19 studies for the RA...
Background The use of multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) to detect large scale rearrangements is now a standard component of BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene testing in the clinical setting. With the cost of full Sanger sequencing up to 4 times higher than the cost of MLPA, it is important not only to determine the prevalence of these mutations but to ascertain the probability that a f...
Breast cancer is one of the most frequent tumors in women, and BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes play a major role in the hereditary susceptibility for this disease. Until the age of 70 women carrying a mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene have a 45-85% probability of developing breast cancer, and 11-62% probability of developing ovarian cancer. Mutation carrier's tumors contain nonfunctional BRCA1 or BRCA2 gen...
Downlo ner and localizer of BRCA2 (PALB2) was originally identified as a BRCA2-interacting protein that is l for key BRCA2 genome caretaker functions. It subsequently became clear that PALB2 was another ni anemia (FA) gene (FANCN), and that monoallelic PALB2 mutations are associated with increased risk st and pancreatic cancer. Mutations in PALB2 have been identified in breast cancer families w...
