    Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the most common female malignancy in the Western world and approximately 510% of all breast cancer cases present with some degree of family history. In the mid-nineties genetic linkage analyses successfully identified two breast cancer predisposing genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2. LÄS MER

    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Breast cancer accounts for approximately 20% of all female malignancies with hereditary breast cancer being implicated in 5-10% of these cases. Two highly penetrant hereditary breast cancer genes are known; BRCA1 (17q) and BRCA2 (13q), which also confer an increased risk of cancer at other sites. LÄS MER

    Författare :Massimiliano Gentile; Anne-Lise Börresen-Dale; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Cancer is in essence a genetic disease, brought about by an accumulation of alterations in genes that encode proteins responsible for the control of cell growth, cell death and the maintenance of genomic integrity. Recent years have seen the unravelling of numerous genes that are targeted in carcinogenesis. LÄS MER
