Introduction: Mutations in the BRCA1 gene are major risk factors for breast and ovarian cancers. However, the relationship between some BRCA1 mutations and cancer risk remains largely unknown. Cancer risk predictions could be improved by evaluation of the impairment degree in the BRCA1 functions due to a specific mutation. This study aimed to assess the functional effect of a novel variant (Glu...
BRCA1 is a susceptibility gene that has a genetic predisposition for breast cancer. BRCA1 gene mutation is closely associated with familial hereditary breast cancer, but the BRCA1 gene mutation is rarely found in sporadic breast cancer. According to previous studies, decreased expression of BRCA1 was detected in certain types of sporadic breast cancer. Aberrant methylation of DNA promoter CpG i...
In western European countries prostate cancer is one of the most common malignant disease among male population. Due to innovations in molecular genetics research technology over recent years genetic features etiology and pathogenesis have been discovered this helped distinguish people with high risk development. Hereditary forms tumors occupy a special position due association mutations BRCA1/...
To study the regulation of BRCA1 gene expression and the potential importance of dysregulation of this gene in breast and ovarian cancer, we have examined the 5' region of the human BRCA1 gene in detail. We have identified a new gene, NBR2, which is partially related to the NBR1 gene (formerly known as 1A1-3B and mapping directly adjacent to the pseudo-BRCA1 gene) and which lies head to head wi...
Copy number deletions and loss of heterozygosity of the BRCA1 gene have been frequently reported in sporadic breast cancer. We studied their relationship with BRCA1 gene expression (the haplo-insufficiency hypothesis) with real-time quantitative reverse transcription-PCR. Expression levels of both full-length and BRCA1-Delta 11b splice variant mRNA were studied, and they showed strong correlati...
Most familial breast and ovarian cancers have been linked to mutations in the BRCA1 gene. BRCA1 has been shown to affect gene transcription but how it does so remains elusive. Here we show that BRCA1 can stimulate transcription without the requirement for a DNA-tethering function in mammalian and yeast cells. Furthermore, the BRCA1 C-terminal region can stimulate transcription of the p53-respon...
Breast tumors from BRCA1 germ line mutation carriers typically exhibit features of the basal-like molecular subtype. However, the specific genes recurrently mutated as a consequence of BRCA1 dysfunction have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we used gene expression profiling to molecularly subtype 577 breast tumors, including 73 breast tumors from BRCA1/2 mutation carriers. Focusing on ...
The breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1 encodes a protein implicated in the cellular response to DNA damage, with postulated roles in homologous recombination as well as transcriptional regulation. To identify downstream target genes, we established cell lines with tightly regulated inducible expression of BRCA1. High-density oligonucleotide arrays were used to analyze gene expression profi...
Mutations of the breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1), a tumor suppressor, confer an increased risk for breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers. To investigate the function of the BRCA1 gene, we performed DNA microarray and confirmatory reverse transcription-PCR analyses to identify BRCA1-regulated gene expression changes. We found that BRCA1 up-regulates the expression of multiple genes i...
The breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) plays a key role in mammary tumorigenesis. However, the reasons why silencing the Brca1 gene leads to tumorigenesis are not clearly understood. We report here that BRCA1 deficiency activates the AKT oncogenic pathway, one of the most common alterations associated with human malignancy. Mutation of Brca1 gene increases the phosphorylation and the k...
