gDNA Enrichment by a Transposase-based Technology for NGS Analysis of the Whole Sequence of BRCA1, BRCA2, and 9 Genes Involved in DNA Damage Repair
Published on: October 6, 2014
Resumen
Una historia familiar de cáncer reveló múltiples cánceres infantiles raros, lo que sugiere un vínculo genético. Este gen autosómico dominante puede interactuar con factores ambientales, influyendo en el desarrollo del tumor.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Genética La genética.
- Oncología Oncología.
- Epidemiología del cáncer.
Sus antecedentes:
- Investigar los síndromes de cáncer hereditario es crucial para comprender la etiología de la enfermedad.
- El análisis de la historia familiar ayuda a identificar las posibles predisposiciones genéticas al cáncer.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar un síndrome de cáncer familiar que involucra múltiples tipos de tumores distintos a través de generaciones.
- Identificar el patrón de herencia y los posibles factores genéticos que contribuyen a una constelación rara de cáncer.
Principales métodos:
- Detallada colección de historia familiar que abarca varias generaciones.
- Análisis de los diagnósticos de cáncer dentro de la familia, observando los tipos de tumores y las personas afectadas.
- Evaluación del patrón de herencia para sugerir un modelo genético.
Principales resultados:
- Tres hermanos presentaron cánceres infantiles distintos: sarcoma osteogénico, leucemia linfoblástica aguda y neurilemoma maligno bilateral.
- Una historia familiar reveló 16 casos de cáncer, incluido un grupo previamente no reconocido de neoplasias similares.
- El espectro tumoral observado (sarcomas, tumores neurales, leucemia, carcinoma de mama) sugiere un gen autosómico dominante con penetración incompleta y pleiotropía.
Conclusiones:
- Se sugiere un síndrome de cáncer familiar, probablemente impulsado por un gen autosómico dominante de penetración incompleta con efectos pleiotrópicos.
- Esta predisposición genética puede interactuar con factores ambientales en el desarrollo de tumores específicos.
- Se necesita más investigación sobre este raro síndrome genético para comprender sus mecanismos e implicaciones.

02:18Cancer
Cancers arise due to mutations in genes involved in the regulation of cell division, which leads to unrestricted cell proliferation. Modern science and medicine have made great strides in the understanding and treatment of cancer, including eradicating cancer in some patients. However, there is still no cure for cancer. This is largely due to the fact that cancer is a large group of many diseases.
02:21Cancers Originate from Somatic Mutations in a Single Cell
Cancer arises from mutations in the critical genes that allow healthy cells to escape cell cycle regulation and acquire the ability to proliferate indefinitely. Though originating from a single mutation event in one of the originator cells, cancer progresses when the mutant cell lines continue to gain more and more mutations, and finally, become malignant. For example, chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) develops initially as a non-lethal increase in white blood cells, which progressively...
01:33Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
Such genes that act...

02:59Cancer Prevention
Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.
