BReast CAncer gene 1 (BRCA1) and BReast CAncer gene 2 (BRCA2) encode for tumor suppressor proteins which are critical regulators of the Homologous Recombination (HR) pathway, the most precise and important DNA damage response mechanism. Dysfunctional HR
Both physicians and patients tend to over- estimate life expectancy in this situation.20,22 Among our study patients seen for genetic counseling after ovarian cancer recur- rence, four genetic test results were disclosed directly to next of kin because the patients had died or were near death. ...

Family history data obtained from test requisition forms and thus possibly limited. Considers only first- and second-degree relatives. Biased ascertainment of data ...
At genes bound by BRCA2, we found that binding sites were enriched near transcriptional start sites (TSS; Figure 3B). Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) identified a number of gene sets associated with BRCA2 binding, including those associated with well-known BRCA2-related functions including ...
A compilation ofBRCAtest results from different laboratories shows that five mutations in theBRCA1gene (c.68_69delAG, c.211A>G (BIC: 330A>G), c.5117G>A (BIC: 5236G>A), c.5123C>A (BIC: 5242C>A), c.470_471delCT (BIC: 589_590delCT) account for 46.6% ofBRCA1mutations and...
It is not expected that further fundamental research will elucidate this role in the near future. Therefore, this clinical trial is essential to investigate RRS with delayed RRO as alternative risk-reducing strategy in order to improve QoL. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02321228)...
5d). However, similar to lymphomas from Atm KO or Trp53 KO mice, in which deletions of tumor suppressor gene Pten and mutations/amplifications of Notch1 oncogene are often identified, the majority (80%) of the sequenced lymphomas from Brca1−/−;Trp53bp1−/− mice contained SVs at...
