ARTICLE Timing of BRCA1/BRCA2 genetic testing in women with ovarian cancer Molly S. Daniels, MS1, Diana L. Urbauer, MS2, Jennifer L. Stanley, BS1, Kristin G. Johnson, BSN3, and Karen H. Lu, MD1 Purpose: To determine when, in reference to the course of their treatment, women with...
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
BRCA1-PALB2, andBRCA2-PALB2mutations. It should be noted that 17 samples were discarded due to missing values in at least one of the interrogated genes, preventing analysis of mutual exclusivity. Constructing a gene–gene interaction (GGI) network is important for understanding breast carcinogene...
All gene sets are significant to FDR < 0.01. (D) RNA-seq was performed 6 days after treatment with control or BRCA2 siRNAs (n = 4 in each group), and differentially expressed transcripts were identified and intersected with BRCA2-bound genes identified by ChIP-seq. Significance testing was...

The possibility remains that the cancer in the family is either associated with a mutation not detectable by the method of genetic testing used, is caused by a change in a different cancer sus- ceptibility gene, or is the result of nonhereditary factors. Consequently, the family should be ...
Well-described founder mutations are identified in French-Canadians population in Quebec, which originated from France during 17–18th century settlement period. In this region 4BRCA1gene mutations (c.4327C>T (BIC: 4446C>T/Arg1443X), c.3756_3759del4 (BIC: 3875delGTCT), c.962G>A (BIC:...
Second, earlier studies showed the presence of STIC in 36–60 % of sporadic pelvic serous carcinomas [33–35] which harboured identical mutation in the TP53 gene to the cells of concurrent pelvic serous carcinomas in 92 % [36]. Third, pelvic serous carcinoma cells resemble tubal lining ...
gene regions that were associated (unadjustedP < 0.01) with breast cancer risk forBRCA1/2pathogenic variant carriers, with CNVs at 15 of these regions present in a human CNV map10. Although none of the CNV regions passed significance thresholds when adjusted for multiple hypothesis testing,...
Direct evidence for genetic modifiers of risk has been provided through studies that investigated the associations between common breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility variants, identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) or candidate gene studies in the general population, and cancer risk...
