Conclusion: BRCA1/2 testing should be provided within a framework that ensures harmonisation and standardisation of services and that protects users. Women and men with positive test results may need special support from counsellors on how to handle test results in their families. Strategies need ...
based on the scaled Brier score, was the topBRCA2model and the second-rankedBRCA1model (Supplementary Table1). Furthermore, its accuracy was nearly as great when only the positive and negative controls where labeled: the average absolute difference in classification probabilities...

A clinical diagnostic laboratory validation of the Ion Torrent platform demonstrated an absence of false negatives and a 10 % false positive rate [33]. With the availability of a three-tube multiplex for the complete BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes we sought to apply this approach to a cohort of ...

27, postmenopausal women with early stage hormone (oestrogen) receptor-positive invasive breast cancer were randomly assigned to exemestane 25 mg versus anastrozole 1 mg, daily. MA. 27B recruited two groups of women from MA. 27: those with BMD T-scores of -2.0 or more (up to 2 SDs below...
Splicing mutation c.5153-1G>A (BIC: 5272-1G>A) ofBRCA1and frameshift mutation c.5146_5149del4 (BIC: 5374delTATG) ofBRCA2are also prevalent founder mutations in the Central Spain region, accounting for 18.4% and 13.6% ofBRCA1andBRCA2positive families, respectively [80,85,87]. Such knowl...

(Fig.5h). Blank U2OS cells depleted of BRCA2 were used as positive control. Loss of BRCA2 led to substantial shortening of newly synthesized DNA tracts after HU treatment, indicative of a degradation of stalled forks, whereas loss of BRCA2–MCM10 association had no impact (Fig.5h). As ...
A relatively small SNP association study found a positive (OR 1.36), but non-significant association of the variant with bilateral breast cancer10 and the iCOGs analysis found an increased risk of breast cancer associated with this variant11. A complicating factor in attributing breast cancer risk...
