No alteration of the AR gene was found. We did not observe much difference in clinicopathological features between carriers and non-carriers of BRCA2 mutations. Five of 37 patients (14%) had a family history of breast cancer, in one first- or second-degree relative, among the latter was ...
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
Single strand conformation polymorphism analysis, direct sequencing, and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification were employed to screen for mutations in the BRCA2 gene, followed by direct sequencing of the PALB2 gene in BRCA2 -negative MBC cases. Pathogenic BRCA2 mutations were identified in...
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 ...
Compared with males, the phenotype in Meilb2-KO female oocytes was milder, showing a somewhat reduced level of RAD51–DMC1 recruitment at meiotic HR sites that caused subfertility [4]. Notably, the S167L missense mutation in the human MEILB2 gene was identified in families with primary ovaria...
Breast cancer gene 2 ( BRCA2) is a tumor suppressor gene. Germ line mutations in BRCA2 predispose both males and females to breast cancer, and female carriers of BRCA2 germ line mutations show a lower incidence of ovarian cancer than do BRCA1 carriers. Both BRCA1 and BRCA2 are large, ...
Because genes are inherited from generation to generation, there is a 50% chance that a male carrier of a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation shares this mutated gene with their biological offspring. The earlier people are aware of the possibility of carrying a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation, the more their...
