Researchers determined the clinical classification of more than 90% of potential BRCA2 variants of uncertain significance in ...

Thousands of single changes in the nucleotides that make up the human genome have been associated with an increased risk of ...

The researchers found that having ever used oral contraception reduced odds of ovarian cancer by 26% (odds ratio [OR], 0.74; 95% CI, 0.66-0.84). Further, those who stopped using oral contraception at ...

A bill that would require private Idaho health insurers to cover supplemental breast cancer screenings for high-risk patients ...

In 1995, our researchers discovered the cancer gene BRCA2, which, when mutated, can make carriers more likely to develop cancer. This discovery means that families can now assess their cancer risk ...

and he discovered he carried a BRCA2 variant—an inherited genetic variant that significantly increases the risk of developing certain cancers, including breast cancer. Since his diagnosis ...

Hereditary cancer risk can be passed down among generations, just like physical characteristics that we can identify in our children or parents. In all, there are more than 50 hereditary cancer ...

Genetics significantly impact cancer risk, particularly in inherited mutations like BRCA1/BRCA2, which increase susceptibility to breast and ovarian cancer. Expert advice suggests that understanding ...

Stanford Medicine researchers sifted through thousands of single nucleotide mutations in DNA to identify fewer than 400 that are functionally associated with inherited cancer risk.

The Amsterdam-based company recently received IVDR certification for other tests including one for phenylketonuria.
