Hereditary breast cancer results from inherited mutations, primarily in BRCA1 and BRCA2, increasing lifetime cancer risk. Additional genes like TP53, PTEN, PALB2, CHEK2, and ATM also contribute to ...
In the era of precision medicine, genomic interrogation for identification of both germline and somatic genetic alterations has become increasingly important. While such germline testing was usually ...
Most cancer genome studies have focused on mutations in the tumor itself and how such gene variants allow a tumor to grow unchecked. A new study takes a deep dive into inherited cancer mutations ...
Most cancer genome studies have focused on mutations in the tumor itself and how such gene variants allow a tumor to grow unchecked. A new study, led by researchers at Washington University School of ...
It's not just the number of mutations that matters. It's the failure to fix them too. The male reproductive system serves as a hotspot for the emergence of new genes. Perhaps that explains why more ...
More than one-third of U.S. adults diagnosed with metastatic HER2-negative breast cancer in 2023 did not undergo testing for BRCA mutations, according to a retrospective analysis.Less than half ...
