BACKGROUND Studies of survival following breast and ovarian cancers in BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 mutation carriers have yielded conflicting results. We undertook an analysis of a community-based study of Ashkenazi Jews to investigate the effect of three founder mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 on survival among patients with breast or ovarian cancer. METHODS We collected blood samples and questionnaire ...
BACKGROUND Germline mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Whether women with breast cancer who have inherited mutations in these genes have a different outcome after breast conservation therapy than women with "sporadic" cancer is unresolved. Consequently, we compared the outcomes after breast conservation therapy in Ashkenazi women with ...
A recent report estimated the breast cancer risks in carriers of the three Ashkenazi founder mutations to be higher than previously published estimates derived from population based studies. In an attempt to confirm this, the breast and ovarian cancer risks associated with the three Ashkenazi founder mutations were estimated using families included in a previous meta-analysis of populatrion bas...
BACKGROUND Gastric cancer (GC) is part of the spectrum of diseases linked to BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations that increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Data suggesting an increased risk of developing GC among BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers are based almost exclusively on indirect studies. The objective was to assess in a direct study whether there is a relationship between GC and selecte...
PURPOSE Several studies to date have reported ovarian cancer risk due to inherited BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations using familial data or population-based series of probands. Familial aggregation associated with both of these methods may result in a substantial ascertainment bias. To address this, we have used a case-control design that does not involve familial aggregation to estimate the lifetime p...
Several studies using families with multiple occurrences of breast cancer have provided evidence for a very high lifetime penetrance in carriers of BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. However, there are reasons to suspect that the estimates of penetrance from studies of cancer families may be inflated. Access to the genotypes of incident cases of breast cancer in three hospitals and from a large series o...
Background. Inherited BRCA gene mutations convey a high risk for breast and ovarian cancer, but current guidelines limit BRCA mutation testing to women with early-onset cancer and relatives of mutation-positive cases. Benefits and risks of providing this information directly to consumers are unknown. Methods. To assess and quantify emotional and behavioral reactions of consumers to their 23andM...
There is a sense of déjà vu for those of us involved in pancreatic cancer research. Many of us have had the opportunity to witness the buildup leading to spectacular discoveries of major genes in studies of hereditary colorectal cancer and breast cancer families. In the same way, we are tackling pancreatic cancer through the use of high-risk pedigrees, a task that is much more difficult with a ...
E pidemiological data suggest that 7% of breast cancer cases and 10% of ovarian cancer cases in the general population are attributable to one or more autosomal dominant susceptibility alleles. The breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 were isolated in 1994 and 1995, 4 respectively, and since then, a large volume of literature attests to the involvement of these genes i...
IMPORTANCE Limited information about the relationship between specific mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) and cancer risk exists. OBJECTIVE To identify mutation-specific cancer risks for carriers of BRCA1/2. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Observational study of women who were ascertained between 1937 and 2011 (median, 1999) and found to carry disease-associated BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation...
