BRCA1 and BRCA2 are well known breast cancer predisposition genes, however, many variants have not yet been classified for their pathogenicity. Here, the authors analyse a large combined cohort to pro...

Abbreviated MRI and contrast-enhanced mammography detected three times as many invasive cancers compared with ABUS, with cancers being half the size. This study shows that supplemental imaging could l...

PURPOSESecond primary cancer (SPC) risks after breast cancer (BC) in BRCA1/BRCA2 pathogenic variant (PV) carriers are uncertain. We estimated relative and absolute risks using a novel linkage of genet...

This Medical News article discusses the ongoing debate about whether the word cancer should be dropped from the names of indolent tumors of the prostate and breast.

CRISPR–Cas9-based saturation genome editing in a humanized mouse embryonic stem cell line was used for comprehensive functional characterization of single nucleotide variants in a region of BRCA2, and...

Identifying individuals at high risk for chronic diseases can improve prevention. Here, the authors show that blood metabolomics scores effectively stratify disease risk and compare favorably to genet...
