چکیده

As regards the interesting discovery of a novel BRCA1 mutation in a family of Palestinian Arabian origin (Kadouri et al., 2007), we would like to state that all gene mutations bring about necessarily local biological activity modification, otherwise, gene mutations would be meaningless innocent bystanders (Stagnaro-Neri and Stagnaro, 1995; Kadouri et al., 2007; Stagnaro, 2008). In the present article we suggest an original clinical tool for the diagnosis of Inherited Real Risk (IRR) of breast cancer which can support the current sophisticated ways for breast cancer risk assessment such as, e.g., the traditional breast physical examination, and the denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) to screen for mutations of BRCA1BRCA-2 (Kadouri et al., 2007), which have been linked to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, and inheriting this mutation increases the risk of developing breast/ovarian cancer. Furthermore, this last evaluation is expensive for National Health Service (NHS), and not applicable for all women and men. Quantum Biophysical Semeiotics (QBS) theory provides a clinical, reliable method both for bed-side diagnosis and breast cancer primary and preprimary prevention, according to the Manuel’s Story (http://www.sisbq.org/ qbs-magazine.html) (Stagnaro and Stagnaro-Neri, 2004a). QBS is a new discipline in medical field and an extension of the classical medical semeiotics with the support of quantum and complexity theories (Caramel and Stagnaro, 2011). It is a scientific transdisciplinary approach that is based on the “Congenital Acidosic Enzyme-Metabolic Histangiopathy” (CAEMH) (Stagnaro and Caramel, 2010), a unique mitochondrial cytopathy that is present at birth and subject to medical therapy. The presence of intense CAEMH in a well-defined area (e.g., myocardium) is due to gene mutations in both n-DNA and mit-DNA. This is the basis for one or more QBS constitutions (Stagnaro and StagnaroNeri, 2004b), in our case, Oncological Terrain (Stagnaro, 2004), which could bring about their respective IRR, i.e., IRR of cancer (Stagnaro, 2009; Stagnaro and Caramel, 2012, 2013a,b). The QBS method allows the clinical and pre-clinical diagnosis of the most severe diseases such as the IRR of breast cancer (Stagnaro, 2004, 2005a,b,c,d), which is achieved in the easier way through the auscultatory percussion of the stomach (Stagnaro, 1985, 2005e). The patho-physiology of QBS reflexes is based upon local microvascular conditions. In case of genetic alteration of both DNAs, intense CAEMH, and IRR of breast cancer there is a microcirculatory remodeling, worsened by well-known environmental risk factors, due to vasomotility and vasomotion impairment (e.g., functional imperfection) and structural obstructions, i.e., pathological Endoarteriolar Blocking Devices (EBDs) and Arteriovenous Anastomosis (AVA) (Stagnaro and Stagnaro-Neri, 2004a; Stagnaro, 2009; Stagnaro and Caramel, 2010). With the aid of QBS method, physicians can bedside recognize, in an easy, quick, and reliable manner, the possible presence of maternally-inherited Oncological Terrain, and Oncological terrain-dependent, IRR, based on the presence of typical microcirculatory remodeling of mamma microvessels, due to newborn-pathological, type I, subtype (a) Oncological, EBDs (Stagnaro and Stagnaro-Neri, 2004a; Stagnaro and Caramel, 2010), conditio sine qua non of breast cancer (Stagnaro, 2009). In spite of genetic testing, bedside ascertaining particularly breast cancer IRR in well-defined breast quadrant(s) allows physicians to perform an efficient malignancy primary prevention in a few minutes. In addition, testing for mutations breast cancer susceptibility genes or for their diminished expression adds to the ability to assess breast cancer IRR at an individual level, because local biological activity, examined with the aid of QBS, results abnormal. Really, by means of sophisticated semeiotics images we cannot localize in mamma quadrant(s) the possible IRR of breast cancer, in BRCA 1, or BRCA1 mutation, E1373X in exon 12 and BRCA 2 in exons 9, 10, 11, 17, 18, and 23 positive women (and men) (Stagnaro-Neri and Stagnaro, 1995; Stagnaro, 2004, 2009; Stagnaro and Stagnaro-Neri, 2004a,b; Stagnaro, 2008; Stagnaro and Caramel, 2010; Caramel and Stagnaro, 2011). In turn, by means of QBS method, physicians can clinically recognize firstly the Oncological Terrain in a quantitative way (Stagnaro, 2011a), and then, but not in all cases, the IRR of breast cancer: individuals with Oncological Terrain do not show necessarily also breast cancer IRR (Stagnaro, 2005a,b,c,d). As a matter of fact, breast cancer, bedside subdivided regarding ERs and cytokine content, involves exclusively the subject positive for Oncological Terrain (Stagnaro, 2004; Stagnaro and StagnaroNeri, 2004a,b; Stagnaro and Caramel, 2010; Caramel and Stagnaro, 2011). We know that multiple cytokines, e.g., Interleukin 12 (IL-12), and Interleukin 23 (IL-23) were over-expressed in ERnegative breast carcinoma and that the

Mutation Screening of BRCA Genes in 10 Iranian Males with Breast Cancer

Male breast cancer is a rare disease with an increasing trend. Due to limited information especially about the genetic basis of the disease in Iran and the lower age of its onset, the disease requires more attention. The aim of this study was to screen the male patients with breast cancer for BRCA mutations as well as tissue markers of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), human e...

BRCA mutations, molecular markers, and clinical variables in early-onset breast cancer: a population-based study.

Early age at onset is generally considered an indicator of genetic susceptibility to breast cancer. To address both the proportion of early-onset breast cancer associated with BRCA-1 or BRCA-2 germline mutation and the contribution of germline mutations to the clinical features and outcome of these tumors, we analyzed molecular status and clinical variables of a population-based sample of 66 It...

Identification of novel BRCA large genomic rearrangements in Singapore Asian breast and ovarian patients with cancer.

Large genomic rearrangements have been reported to account for about 10-15% of BRCA1 gene mutations. Approximately, 90 BRCA rearrangements have been described to date, all of which but one have been reported in Caucasian populations of predominantly Western European descent. Knowledge of BRCA genomic rearrangements in Asian populations is still largely unknown. In this study, we have investigat...

The relevance of BRCA genetics to prostate cancer pathogenesis and treatment.

The breast cancer susceptibility genes 1 (BRCA1) and 2 (BRCA2) are cellular proteins involved in DNA repair. They are normally expressed in the breast, ovaries, prostate, and other tissues. Their germline mutation is the cause of hereditary breast-ovarian cancer syndromes. BRCA mutation carriers are also susceptible to other cancers, notably prostate cancer. In this article, we review the role ...
