We studied general and cancer related distress in 85 healthy women with a 25% or 50% risk of being carrier of aBRCA1/BRCA2 gene mutation and 66 partners in the six to eight week period between genetic counselling/blood sampling and disclosure of the test result. Questionnaire and interview ...
Luckily, we have been faced with a "trial run" in August of 2006 when a new test became available to detect large rearrangements in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. These types of mutations would not have been detected by the sequencing test which was the only assay available prior to that ...
Presymptomatic testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2:how distressing are the pre-test weeks?L N Lodder, P G Frets, R W Trijsburg, E J Meijers-Heijboer, J G M Klijn,H J Duivenvoorden, A Tibben, A Wagner, C A van der Meer, P Devilee, C J Cornelisse,M F Niermeijer, and other members...
The survival rates for breast cancer when it is detected and treated early are between 87-99%. Breast cancer is more common in women over the age of 50 years old.Answer and Explanation: Genetic testing is looking for the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations, which may increase an individuals ...

Phase 1 translation (T1) research seeks to move a basic genome-based discovery into a candidate health application (e.g., genetic test/intervention). Phase 2 translation (T2) research assesses the value of a genomic application for health practice leading to the development of evidence-based ...
Molecular Test Data Agent: Decodes genomic data from biopsy samples to identify biomarkers like BRCA1/2 and PSMA to support personalized treatment. Biochemical Data Specialist Agent: Assesses unusual biochemical activity, such as irregular PSA levels, and provides insights on cancer ...
Conversely, excessive apoptosis, characterized by rapid blebbing, can lead to degenerative diseases, showing the importance of this process in cell death regulation. Rate this question: 9. Which gene is known as the "guardian of the genome" in apoptosis? A. TP53 B. MYC C. BRCA1 D....
Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 have been reported in African-American women, but the extent of the contribution of BRCA1 and BRCA2 to breast cancer burden in Africa was uncertain. Limited financial resources lead to suboptimal cancer data collection, as well as delayed diagnosis and treatment of...
1. What does it mean to say that two genes are linked? 2. Can linked genes assort independently? Why or why not? 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?
