Frequency of pathogenic germline mutations in cancer susceptibility genes in breast cancer patients
(Humana Press Inc., 2018)
In this study, we evaluated the incidence of pathogenic germline mutations in 30 breast cancer susceptibility genes in breast cancer patients. Our aim was to understand the involvement of the inherited mutations in these ...
Serum Albumin Levels in Breast Cancer: Correlation with Overall Survival
(SciTechnol, 2017)
Introduction: Albumin in an important biomarker that indicates malnutrition as well as inflammation. The aim of the study was to evaluate the albumin levels in breast cancer patients and its association with overall survival ...
Association of CYP2C19*2 and ALDH1A1*1/*2 variants with disease outcome in breast cancer patients: results of a global screening array
(Springer Verlag, 2018)
Purpose: Cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin (adjuvant chemotherapy) are commonly used to treat breast cancer patients. Variation in the genes involved in pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of these drugs plays an important ...
A comprehensive analysis of BRCA2 gene: focus on mechanistic aspects of its functions, spectrum of deleterious mutations, and therapeutic strategies targeting BRCA2-deficient tumors.
(Springer, 2018)
BRCA2is the main susceptibility gene known to be involved in the pathogenesis of breast cancer. It plays an important role in maintaining the genome stability by homologous recombination through DNA double-strand breaks ...
Recent advances in HER2 positive breast cancer epigenetics: Susceptibility and therapeutic strategies
(Elsevier Masson SAS, 2017)
HER2 amplification/overexpression accounts for aggressive clinical features of HER2 positive breast cancer. Epigenetic changes including DNA methylation, histone modifications and ncRNAs/miRNAs are associated with regulation ...
Analysis of pro‐ and anti‐inflammatory cytokine gene variants and serum cytokine levels as prognostic markers in breast cancer
(Wiley, 2018)
The aim of current study was to evaluate the genetic variation in all the genes encoding pro‐ and anti‐inflammatory cytokines in association with breast cancer development in patients from Malwa region of Punjab. The ...
Role of p53 gene in breast cancer: Focus on mutation spectrum and therapeutic strategies
(Bentham Science Publishers B.V., 2018)
TP53 is a tumor suppressor gene which is commonly mutated in various cancers including breast cancer. Alterations in the gene lead to an altered expression of various genes that are directly or indirectly under the ...
