In the present study, 21 BRCA1 and BRCA2 pathogenic variants were detected in 30 patients and BRCA1/2 mutations were significantly associated with a family history of breast/ovarian cancer.
Analyses performed under logistic model, linear mixed model, and model incorporating correlations identified nine significant associations with three gynecologic diseases including four novel findings (rs79219469:C > T, LINC02183, P = 3.3 × 10<sup>-8</sup> and rs567534295:C > T, BRCA1, P = 3.1 × 10<sup>-8</sup> with OC, rs150806792:C > T, INS-IGF2, P = 4.9 × 10<sup>-8</sup> and rs140991990:A > G, SOX9, P = 3.3 × 10<sup>-8</sup> with UCC).
A simultaneous detection of germline and somatic mutations in ovarian cancer (OC) using tumor materials is considered to be cost-effective for <i>BRCA1/2</i> testing.
Olaparib as maintenance therapy in patients with BRCA 1-2 mutated recurrent platinum sensitive ovarian cancer: Real world data and post progression outcome.
In adjusted analysis, age ≥80 years (odds ratio [OR] 0.10; P = 0.002), psychiatric disorders (OR 0.46; P = 0.006), occupation requiring at least 3 years of university or college education (OR 2.03; P = 0.003), and breast cancer or ovarian cancer in first-degree or second-degree relatives (OR 1.66; P = 0.02) were independently associated with uptake of BRCA1/2 testing.
BRCA1/2 mutations were significantly associated with family history of breast/ovarian cancer (p<0.001), serous histology (p=0.044), and advanced International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage (III/IV, p=0.018) but not with early age-of-onset (age < 50, p=0.729).
Surveillance of patients with mutations in BRCA 1/2 is done by yearly mammography and breast MRI and by transvaginal ultrasonography and serum CA-125 levels every 6-12 months for ovarian cancer.
Worry about ovarian cancer risk predicted use of preventative pBSO among high-risk women including those with BRCA1/2 mutations enrolled in an ovarian cancer-screening program.
The study includes 1246 individuals assessed for BRCA1/2 genetic testing in Navarra, during 2000-2016, and a cohort of BC (n = 4384) and OC (n = 561) from the population-based Navarra Cancer Registry.
Germline mutations occurring in the highly penetrant genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 are responsible for only certain cases of familial breast cancer (BC) and ovarian cancer (OC).
This study was designed to determine the frequency of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) variants in BRCA1 gene and BRCA1 expression in Saudi females with ovarian cancer.
Cancer-related distress in unselected women with newly diagnosed breast or ovarian cancer undergoing BRCA1/2 testing without pretest genetic counseling.
Significant associations with OC were observed in <i>BRCA1, BRCA2, RAD51C</i> and <i>RAD51D.</i> Other homologous recombination genes, <i>BARD1, NBN,</i> and <i>PALB2,</i> were not significantly associated with OC.
Inherited mutations in the breast cancer susceptibility genes <i>BRCA1</i> and <i>BRCA2</i> (<i>BRCA1/2</i>) confer high risks of breast and ovarian cancer.
