Efficacy of Bilateral Prophylactic Mastectomy in BRCA1 and BRCA2 Gene Mutation Carriers

TL;DR: Prophylactic mastectomy is associated with a substantial reduction in the incidence of subsequent breast cancer not only in women identified as being at high risk on the basis of a family history of breast cancer but also in known BRCA1 or BRCa2 mutation carriers.
Journal Article

Microsatellite instability in colorectal cancer: different mutator phenotypes and the principal involvement of hMLH1.

TL;DR: In this paper, DNA extracted from paraffin-embedded tissue from 508 patients using 11 microsatellites localized to chromosomes 5, 8, 15, 17, and 18 was used to characterize the type of alterations at these loci and their frequency of involvement in colon cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

The frequency of hereditary defective mismatch repair in a prospective series of unselected colorectal carcinomas.

TL;DR: The results suggest that, although defective DNA MMR occurs in approximately 20% of unselected patients presenting for CRC resection, hereditary CRC due to mutations in the MMR pathway account for only a small proportion of patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular and Clinical Analyses of Greig Cephalopolysyndactyly and Pallister-Hall Syndromes: Robust Phenotype Prediction from the Type and Position of GLI3 Mutations

Jennifer J. Johnston, +48 more
TL;DR: A robust correlation of genotype and phenotype for GLI3 mutations is demonstrated and strongly support the hypothesis that these two allelic disorders have distinct modes of pathogenesis.
