"These data will help to optimize medical care in male BRCA1 and BRCA2 PV carriers," Dr. Ottini said. "In particular, screening and surveillance programs in men with BRCA1 and BRCA2 PVs should be tailored in light of these gene-specific cancer phenotype differences." "Overall," she conclu...
The entire coding region of the BRCA2 gene and two exons of the AR gene were analyzed for germ-line mutations to evaluate the association between BRCA2 and AR genes and male breast cancer in Poland. We identified four frameshift mutations (11%) in exons 10, 11, 17 and 18, two of ...
"Not enough men are getting genetic testing to see if they carry a BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene variant that increases their cancer risk," said lead author Heather Cheng, MD, Ph.D., the director of the Fred Hutch Prostate Cancer Genetics Clinic. "And the men who know they are carriers get tes...
Background: Male breast cancer (MBC) is an uncommon malignancy with an incidence that accounts for about 1% of all breast cancer cases. It commonly presents as a locally advanced tumor that has already spread to the regional nodal basin. Similar to female breast cancers, MBC gene expression pr...

As a result of cancer genome testing, two genes (BRCA1, BRCA2) belonging to the homologues recombination gene family with germline pathogenic variants (gPVs) were detected in a total of 30 Japanese male patients (96.68%: 30/31) with advanced/metastatic breast cancer. In one Japanese male ...
The breast cancer susceptibility gene, BRCA2 on chromosome 13q12–13, was recently isolated1–3. Mutations in BRCA2 are thought to account for as much as 35% of all inherited breast cancer as well as a proportion of inherited ovarian cancer1. Many BRC2-l
You were diagnosed withtriple negative breast cancerbefore the age of 60. About Genes Each cell in the body has about 20,500 genes. Genes are tiny segments of DNA that control how cells function. One copy of each gene comes from your mother. The other is from your father. ...
BRCA Gene and Preventive Cancer Surgery by Jeffrey Dach MD Angelina Jolie’s story in a New York Times Op Ed revealed the celebrity underwent not only a bilateral prophylactic mastectomy about two years ago, but also more recently, a bilateral oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries). (1) ...
[Abstract]Germline mutations in BRCA genes (including BRCA1/2) are the major risk factors for hereditary tumors including breast and ovarian cancer. Population based BRCA gene screening, particularly in high-risk individuals with a family history of cancer, can play a preventive role by reducing ...
