Similar prevalence of founder BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations among Ashkenazi and non-Ashkenazi men with breast cancer: evidence from 261 cases in Israel, 1976-1999.

Abstract:

:To evaluate the potential contribution of mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes to male breast cancer (MBC), we expanded a previous study to screen a total of 261 Israeli men diagnosed with breast carcinoma. A total of 21 BRCA2 6174delT and 8 BRCA1 185delAG mutations were found. Similar frequencies of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers were found among Ashkenazi (12.8%) and non-Ashkenazi Jews (9.1%). The combined prevalence of BRCA1/BRCA2 founder mutations among Ashkenazi Jewish men is slightly higher than for women, due to a higher frequency of BRCA2 mutations.

  • A novel NR2F2 loss-of-function mutation predisposes to congenital heart defect.

    abstract::Congenital heart defect (CHD) is the most common type of birth defect in humans and a leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality. Previous studies have demonstrated that genetic defects play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of CHD. However, the genetic basis of CHD remains poorly understood due to substantial g...
