Námi iniciovaná reportáž, tentokrát na televizi Seznam o rakovině vaječníků a genetické mutaci BRCA s prof. Davidem Cibulou, RNDr. Janou Soukupovou a pacientkou Caroline.
Mutace BRCA se podílejí na vzniku rakoviny prsu a vaječníků. BRCA1 a BRCA2 jsou tumor supresorové geny, které jsou inaktivovány během nádorového vývoje karcinomu prsu.Zárodečné mutace těchto dvou genů se přenášejí autozomálně dominantním…
Breast cancer (BrCa) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in women. Alarming increases in the cases quests for more effective treatment of BrCa.
A small proportion of many cancers are due to inherited mutations in genes, which result in a high risk to the individual of developing specific cancers. There are several classes of genes that may be involved: tumour suppressor genes…
The BRCA-1 protein is a tumor suppressor involved in repair of DNA damage. Epigenetic mechanisms contribute to its reduced expression in sporadic breast tumors. Through diet, humans are exposed to a complex mixture of xenobiotics and…
However, several transcriptomic changes in the luminal epithelium may play a role in cancer hallmarks. These include genes involved in cell cycle control [MKI67 (Ki-67), CDNK2A (p16), Aurka (Aurora kinase A), BCL9 (B-cell CLL/lymphoma 9…
Bipolar, schizophrenia, and schizoaffective disorders are common, highly heritable psychiatric disorders, for which familial coaggregation, as well as epidemiological and genetic evidence, suggests overlapping etiologies.
