Extractions: Brenner Group Home Page We are a research group in the Dartmouth Medical School Departments of Genetics Biochemistry and the Norris Cotton Cancer Center Dartmouth's NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center. Our laboratory works on the functions of histidine triad hydrolases including Hint , Aprataxin, and Fhit , their homologs, and their signaling partners. This work has led us into fascinating areas of biology including sex determination in birds , ataxia-oculomotor apraxia, and a frequently inactivated proapoptotic tumor suppressor pathway . Our work on Fhit has led us to a second superfamily of enzymes related to nitrilase and to new insights into the enzymology and metabolic pathways to NAD+ . For more information on these topics, please download our publications and read the new book, Oncogenomics: Molecular Approaches to Cancer Our principal tools are enzymology, X-ray crystallography and yeast genetics but we are committed to do every experiment necessary to understand cellular and organismal functions. Our work is funded by grants from the National Cancer Institute . We also acknowledge the early support of the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation , the Burroughs Wellcome Foundation and the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation in getting the laboratory established.

http://www.thedoctorwillseeyounow.com/articles/cancer/breast_3/

Extractions: Everyone of us has had a friend or relative concerned about their family history of breast cancer. This is totally understandable given that breast cancer is the commonest cancer in women and is the third most deadly cancer in men and women behind lung and colorectal cancer . What's more, with the media's emphasis on a woman's one in eight chance of developing breast cancer during her lifetime, an alarming figure, women should be concerned! But there are two pieces of good news. First, with the greater use of mammography and diagnostic techniques that permit diagnosis at earlier stages, the cure rate is improving. Second, the one in eight risk isn't as high as it seems. It's a lifetime risk, what we call cumulative risk, based on a woman living to the ripe old age of 110. A woman's risk at age 50, for example, is much lower, 1 in 50. (see Table 1)

About Us Valley Breast Center: Breast Cancer Despite common belief, genetics play only a minor role in breast cancer. In fact, 80 percent of women diagnosed have no genetic link to the disease. Still, it's important to know your family history. With that information, a genetic counselor at Valley Breast Center can assess your risk and guide you through any additional testing necessary. You can request more information or schedule an appointment by calling Valley Breast Center at 425-656-5588. What is Genetic Testing? Cancer in families can sometimes be the result of altered genes passed from one generation to the next. Hereditary forms of breast, ovarian and colorectal cancers are only a small number of all breast, ovarian and colon cancers seen. Approximately seven percent of breast cancers and 10 percent of ovarian and colon cancers are hereditary. A genetic counselor can explain the potential benefits, risks and limitations of genetic testing. Currently, blood sampling is available to identify genes that predispose an individual to breast, ovarian and colon cancer, as well as other less common syndromes. This option is offered to those deemed appropriate for testing. All genetic testing is conducted in a manner that ensures patient privacy and confidentiality.

Latest Research On Breast Cancer And Genetics
Genetic Mutations Associated with Breast cancer. 486495 (Mar 1997). Geneticsof breast cancer, Greene, Mayo Clin Proc 72 (1) 54-65 (Jan 1997).
http://www.csu.edu.au/learning/ncgr/gpi/odyssey/BCAN2/genrisk.html

Extractions: Introduction In 1994 researchers found the first gene, , whose mutation they believed to be associated with some forms of breast cancer (Miki et al., 1994). The finding of a second genetic mutation, of the gene called , was announced in 1995 (Wooster et al., 1995). These discoveries increased optimism that genetic testing and developing gene therapies would soon provide new ways to understand, predict, diagnose and treat breast cancer. But continuing research on genetic connections to breast cancer also has turned up some contradictory and confusing data. Known inherited genetic mutations may play a role in 5% to 10% of all breast cancer cases. Other breast cancers may be dependent upon cultural and environmental factors acting in concert with other mutations as yet undiscovered. A combination of environmental and cultural risk factors, interacting with genetic mutations, probably is the cause of all breast and other cancers. How genetic mutations influence the onset of cancer remains unclear. It is doubtful that a single mutation can cause cancer by itself. Rather, cancer probably results from a combination of environmental, cultural and complex genetic interactions. A genetic mutation is just one of many possible risk factors that can put a person at higher risk for breast cancer. Mutations in each gene may be associated with other cancers (such as ovarian), as well. There probably are other unknown mutations associated with an increased risk of getting breast cancer. Researchers continue to study the complexities surrounding breast cancer susceptibility genes.

Colorectal Cancer And Genetics
Colon cancer and genetics. Medical researchers suspected that a portionof colon and rectal cancer cases might have a genetic basis.
http://www.csu.edu.au/learning/ncgr/gpi/odyssey/colon/

Extractions: In the past few years, reports about possible genetic elements of colon and colorectal cancers have made headlines. Over 500,000 people throughout the world are diagnosed with colon cancers every year. So, when news spreads about discoveries related to colon cancer, people pay attention. It has long been observed that colon cancer runs in some families. Medical researchers suspected that a portion of colon and rectal cancer cases might have a genetic basis. Geneticists have been studying genetic linkages to colorectal cancer since the mid-1980s. It is important to understand that only about 5 to 10 percent of all colon cancer cases are directly linked to hereditary, or genetic, factors. The other 95 percent are considered sporadic. Just because a disorder such as colon cancer tends to concentrate in some families does not necessarily mean that a predisposition to the disease is passed on genetically. Family members also share similar environments, lifestyles, and diets that are risk factors for cancer. Colon cancer is a multifactorial condition. That means there may be many things that have acted together to cause the cancer in any given case, including DNA. There are several kinds of hereditary colon cancers. Genetic researchers have uncovered evidence that genetics does play a role in two types of familial conditions that can lead to colon cancer. Researchers have undertaken studies of families where these conditions can be traced through family members over several generations.

Pancreatic Cancer Center University of Chicago physician-scientists are studying the genes of cancer patients and their families with the goal of preventing cancer or finding cancer before it may become incurable. "We are the only comprehensive program in Chicago that offers genetic testing and screening for pancreatic cancer," says Funmi Olopade, MD, director of the Center for Clinical Cancer Genetics. Every patient who comes through the center, she says, should have a family history taken and will be offered genetic testing. Dr. Funmi Olopade Research shows that there is a strong link between pancreatic cancer and the BRCA2 mutation that plays a role in breast cancer. "If a man has developed pancreatic cancer, we can reach out to his daughters about the risk for breast cancer," Dr. Olopade says. There is also concern about links between pancreatic cancer and lung cancer, melanoma, and bladder cancer. Less than 20 percent of pancreatic cancers have a genetic link, however, most patientsand many physiciansare not aware of the genetic factor of this disease. As a result, patients have died without the potential impact of the genetics being shared with their families.
