Read MoreEvidence That SNP in microRNA-146a Gene Does Not Meaningfully Modify Breast Cancer Risk in BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutation Carriers
microRNAs can affect the amount of proteins that are produced from our genes (more on microRNAs in our online glossary here at BRCAscoop soon). Previous preliminary evidence from relatively small studies had suggested that a SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) in the gene for the microRNA miR-146a impacted the age of onset of familial breast and ovarian cancer. In a new study, several authors...
Read MoreNew Paper Related to Common Genetic Variation Affecting Breast Cancer Risk in BRCA1 and BRCA2 Mutation Carriers
A broad consortium of medical researchers has published a new research study focused on the question of to what extent common genetic variation affects breast cancer risk in women with mutations in either BRCA1 or BRCA2. The study was published in the journal Human Molecular Genetics and involved more than 14,000 women with BRCA1 mutations and move than 8,000 women with BRCA2 mutations. All...
