1 9509273 Within the past few years, a number of genes associated with a high risk of breast cancer have been identified, including BRCA1, BRCA2, p53, and the Cowden disease gene PTEN/MMAC1.
2 9509273 These genes appear to function as tumor suppressors, and although their mutation frequency in the general population is low, certain populations have a carrier frequency of up to 1% for particular BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations.
3 9579377 Two genes, called BRCA-1 and BRCA-2, have been identified that appear to be responsible for the majority of familial breast cancer syndromes.
4 9579377 Additional genes, PTEN (Cowden disease), MSH1 or MLH2 (HNPCC), and p53 (Li-Fraumeni syndrome) are responsible for other breast cancer syndromes but have not yet entered the clinical arena on a large scale.
5 9579377 The cancer risks associated with BRCA-2 mutations appear to be somewhat lower than those of BRCA-1.
6 9699648 The tumor cell line is marked by multiple additional genetic changes including a high degree of aneuploidy, an acquired mutation of TP53 with wild-type allele loss, an acquired homozygous deletion of the PTEN gene, and loss of heterozygosity at multiple loci known to be involved in the pathogenesis of breast cancer.
7 9973246 We review many of the molecular events important in the pathogenesis of breast cancer, including inherited abnormalities in BRCA-1 and BRCA-2, p53, ATM, and PTEN and sporadic alterations in growth factors and their receptors, signal transduction, cell cycle control, DNA repair, cell death, angiogenesis, and invasion and metastasis.
8 10030809 Recent advances in molecular biology, however, have shown that hereditary breast cancer may eventuate as a result of mutations on several specific gene loci including BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM gene, PTEN and p53.
9 10030809 Several other less frequently occurring predisposition genes such as the androgen receptor gene (AR), the HNPCC genes and the oestrogen receptor gene may also be involved, but to a lesser extent.
10 10030809 Overall, approximately 5-10% of all breast cancers are thought to involve one of these inherited predisposition genes, with BRCA1 and BRCA2 being responsible for as much as 90% of this group.
