Coding Variants of the Genitourinary Development Gene Carry High Risk for Prostate Cancer.
JCO Precis Oncol

Medical Research Service, Department of Veterans Affairs, Tennessee Valley Healthcare System, Nashville, TN.
Purpose: Considerable genetic heterogeneity is currently thought to underlie hereditary prostate cancer (HPC). Most families meeting criteria for HPC cannot be attributed to currently known pathogenic variants.
Methods: To discover pathogenic variants predisposing to prostate cancer, we conducted a familial case-control association study using both genome-wide single-allele and identity-by-descent analytic approaches.

Prostate cancer (PCa) ranks among the most prevalent malignancies in men, with notable associations to Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome (HBOC) and Lynch Syndrome, both linked to germline likely pathogenetic variant/pathogenetic variant (LPV/PV) in genes involved in DNA repair. Among these genes, BRCA2 in PCa patients is the most frequently altered. Despite progresses, challenges in BRCA carriers detection persist, with a quarter of PCa cases lacking family history.

Prostate cancer (PC) represents one of the leading causes of cancer-related morbidity and mortality in men, requiring further understanding to improve diagnosis and treatment. Germline BRCA1/2 mutations, primarily identified in other hereditary cancers, confer an increased risk of developing PC; thus, testing is essential to assess cancer risk, guiding preventive strategies and screening. Recently, somatic BRCA1/2 mutations have emerged as pivotal predictive biomarkers of responsiveness to the poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors.

Background: Identifying patients with gm is crucial to facilitate screening strategies, preventive measures and the usage of targeted therapeutics in their management. This review examines the evidence for the latest predictive and therapeutic approaches in -associated cancers.
Clinical Description: Data supports the use of adjuvant olaparib in patients with gm high-risk HER2-negative breast cancer.
Association of radiation-induced normal tissue toxicity with a high genetic risk for rheumatoid arthritis.

Purpose: Overlapping genes are involved with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and DNA repair pathways. Therefore, we hypothesised that patients with a high polygenic risk score (PRS) for RA will have an increased risk of radiotherapy (RT) toxicity given the involvement of DNA repair.
Methods: Primary analysis was performed on 1494 prostate cancer, 483 lung cancer and 1820 breast cancer patients assessed for development of RT toxicity in the REQUITE study.
