Article Synopsis
- DNA stores genetic information and has special features like bending and stability, which help control how genes work.
- The shape of DNA (DNA Curvature) is important for starting the process of making proteins, which are essential for cells.
- Recent research has focused on how DNA Curvature can help scientists find important areas in DNA called promoters, which help initiate gene activity.
Purpose: To evaluate cancer risk factors among cancer cases and controls from Southern Brazil, to analyze a multigene hereditary panel testing (MGPT, 26 genes) for breast cancer (BC) and colorectal cancer (CCR) cases diagnosed age younger than 50 years and to characterize them for hereditary cancer syndrome (HCS) phenotypes.
Methods: A case-control (matched by age group and sex) study was conducted on regional cancer. Data on exposure factors and first-/second-degree family history of cancer (1/2FHC) were collected.
