Eight categories of metaphors that women used surrounding BRCA gene testing were evident in the data, including those related to (a) knowledge is power; (b) gambling; (c) a journey; (d) a rollercoaster; (e) battle, disaster, or wreckage; (f) Pandoras box or a can of worms; (g) ...

Younger patients with breast cancer and the BRCA gene showed improved survival after undergoing risk-reducing mastectomy and/or risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy. December 18th 2024 Keeping Cancer Out of the Closet Linda Cohen I’m very grateful for my SLL medication, but I never thought a si...
To test the idea, Park’s team first selected cell lines derived from non-cancerous human breast epithelial cells – where BRCA1 breast cancers originate. They then used an advanced gene-targeting technique to create new cell lines that have a typical cancer-linked BRCA1 mutation in only one ...
Sergey Matveevsky1, Irina Bakloushinskaya2 & Oxana Kolomiets1 Most mammalian species have heteromorphic sex chromosomes in males, except for a few enigmatic groups such as the mole voles Ellobius, which do not have theY chromosome and Sry gene. The Ellobius (XX ♀♂) system of sex ...
Heterozygous – An organism has two different alleles for a gene. A homozygous genotype has two identical alleles for a given trait. For example, a pea plant with two dominant alleles for purple flowers would be homozygous dominant (PP) for that trait. A pea plant with two recessive a...
The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes seem to be very similar, but do you know which gene is worse? Is it possible a son is biologically older than his parent? Genes on the same chromosome may show linkage, with what allele combinations inherited at a higher rate than other combinations?
months old and 3 years old, and working in no-fault insurance litigation. By age 40, she’ll likely have her ovaries removed to reduce a higher risk of ovarian cancer that comes with her gene mutation, she says. When her children get older, they can be tested for the BRCA gene ...
“Now, anybody at MUSC over the age of 18 who signs a consent can get their BRCA and Lynch genes tested, as well as for familial hypercholesterolaemia, which causes heart disease,” says Hughes. “We’ve moved away from this idea of genetic testing as something risky and dangerous to so...
Stunning advances in gene research and data mining will predict diseases and devise treatments tailored to each of us.
