Large scale multifactorial likelihood quantitative analysis of BRCA1 and BRCA2 ...
Parsons, Michael T.; Tudini, Emma; Li, Hongyan; Hahnen, Eric; Wappenschmidt, Barbara; Feliubadaló, Lidia; Aalfs, Cora M.; Agata, SimonaThe multifactorial likelihood analysis method has demonstrated utility for quantitative assessment of variant pathogenicity for multiple cancer syndrome genes. Independent data types currently incorporated in the model for assessing BRCA1 and BRCA2 variants include clinically calibrated prior probability of pathogenicity based on variant location and bioinformatic prediction of variant effect, co-segregation, f...
Candidate genetic modifiers for breast and ovarian cancer risk in BRCA1 and BRC...
Peterlongo, Paolo; Chang-Claude, Jenny; Moysich, Kirsten B.; Rudolph, Anja; Schmutzler, Rita K.; Simard, Jacques; Soucy, Penny; Eeles, Rosalind A.Background: BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers are at substantially increased risk for developing breast and ovarian cancer. The incomplete penetrance coupled with the variable age at diagnosis in carriers of the same mutation suggests the existence of genetic and nongenetic modifying factors. In this study, we evaluated the putative role of variants in many candidate modifier genes. Methods: Genotyping data fro...
