Mashup Score: 2Mutations in 11 Genes May Be Associated With Aggressive Prostate Cancer - The ASCO Post - 7 month(s) ago
Currently, oncologists use genetic tests to help personalize care for certain patients with aggressive prostate cancer. The results of the tests can inform treatment—including with one class of tar geted therapies that has proved effective against some inherited prostate cancers—and encourage genetic screenings among the patients’ family members so that they have the chance to reduce their cancer risk and work with physicians to be more vigilant in early detection. In the new study, the researchers

Mashup Score: 2Germline Predisposition and Homologous Recombination Deficiency in Pancreatic Acinar Cell Carcinoma - The ASCO Post - 8 month(s) ago
In a study reported in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Mandelker et al found that pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma was associated with a high prevalence of BRCA2 germline pathogenic variants and genomic features of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). The study involved somatic and germline analyses in a clinical cohort of 28,780 patients with cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, of whom 49 were diagnosed with pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma. Whole-genome sequencing was performed in

Mashup Score: 023andMe Granted FDA 510k Clearance to Report Additional BRCA Variants - The ASCO Post - 8 month(s) ago
23andMe has announced that the company has received a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance to expand its existing BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) Genetic Health Risk Report. The clearance allows 23andMe to report an additional 41 variants in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes known to be associated with a higher risk of developing breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancers. Many of the BRCA variants added through this most recent clearance are known to have a higher rate of occurrence
