Assessments of breast cancer (BC) risk in carriers of pathogenic variants identified by gene panel testing in different populations are highly in demand worldwide. We performed target sequencing of 78 genes involved in DNA repair in 860 females with BC and 520 age- and family history-matched controls from Central Russia. Among BC patients, 562/860 (65.

Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) interacts with tropomyosin receptor kinases (TRKs), binding mainly to TRKC receptors, which are expressed within noradrenergic neurons in the blue spot (, LC). Considering the difficulties in delivering full-length neurotrophins to the CNS after systemic administration, low-molecular mimetics of loop 4 in NT-3, hexamethylenediamide bis-(N-monosuccinyl-L-asparaginyl-L-asparagine) (GTS-301), and hexamethylenediamide bis-(N-γ-oxybutyryl-L-glutamyl-L-asparagine) (GTS-302), activating TRKC and TRKB receptors, were synthesized.
