Mitochondria and Familial Predisposition to Breast Cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mitochondrial genome and functional alterations are related to various diseases including cancer. In all cases, the role of these organelles is associated with defects in oxidative energy metabolism and control of tumor-induced oxidative stress. The present study examines the involvement of mitochondrial DNA in cancer and in particular in breast cancer. Furthermore, since mitochondrial DNA is maternally inherited, hereditary breast cancer has been focused on.

Genetic predisposition increases the risk of familial breast cancer. Recent studies indicate that genetic predisposition for familial breast cancer can be ethnic-specific. However, current knowledge of genetic predisposition for the disease is predominantly derived from Western populations. Using this existing information as the sole reference to judge the predisposition in non-Western populati...
متن کاملGene panel testing for hereditary breast cancer.
Inherited predisposition to breast cancer is explained only in part by mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Most families with an apparent familial clustering of breast cancer who are investigated through Australia's network of genetic services and familial cancer centres do not have mutations in either of these genes. More recently, additional breast cancer predisposition genes, such as PAL...

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer of women in the world. Although different genetic alteration has been reported in this malignancy, but P 53 gene mutations has more frequency. P 53 gene is one of the most important suppressor genes and it play a central role in breast cancer and detecting of mutations in this gene would be very helpful in understanding of genetic m...

BACKGROUND Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. About 5 to 10% of cases are due to an inherited predisposition in two major genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, transmitted as an autosomal dominant form. Male breast cancer is rare and is mainly due to BRCA2 than BRCA1 germline mutations. OBJECTIVE Molecular study of BRCA2 gene in man with familial breast cancer. METHODS PCR and di...
