EUGENE, Ore. (KTVZ) -- University of Oregon biologists have uncovered a mechanism by which a well-known breast cancer gene also influences fertility. Mutations in the BRCA1 gene sharply increase a ...
ELF3 axis enables luminal progenitor transformation in BRCA1-deficient breast cancer by reducing genomic instability and promoting progenitor identity.
Women diagnosed with breast cancer who carry particular BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic variants are offered surgery to remove the ovaries and fallopian tubes as this dramatically reduces their risk of ...
In this study, researchers aimed to determine whether younger BRCA1/2 carriers who undergo oophorectomy can receive menopausal hormone therapy without increasing their risk of breast cancer.
Mutations in the BRCA1 gene that are either inherited (germline) or acquired (somatic) might not be key to the initiation of prostate cancer, as previously thought, suggests the first study of its ...
Mutations in BRCA1 do not appear to contribute significantly to the risk of prostate cancer progression, according to DNA test results from 450 prostate cancer specimens. The findings suggest that ...
