Background: BRCA2 germline mutations are known to predispose carriers to various cancer types, including breast, ovarian, pancreatic and prostate cancer. An association with melanoma has also been reported. However, the full tumour spectrum associated with BRCA2 mutations, particularly in patients with other concurrent pathogenetic mutations, is unexplored.

Background/objective: Large genomic rearrangements of gene, particularly deletions and duplications, have been linked to hereditary breast-ovarian cancer. Our research specifically focuses on delineating the intronic breakpoints associated with rearrangements of exon 11, which is crucial for understanding the mechanisms underlying these genomic changes in patients with hereditary breast and ovarian syndrome.
Methods: By using next-generation sequencing, we identified one duplication and three deletions of exon 11, confirmed by Multiplex Ligation-Dependent Probe Amplification analysis.

The co-occurrence of primary breast cancer and primary ovarian cancer is an exceptional hereditary phenomenon and results from inherent mutations in critical genes like BRCA1/2, PALB2, TP53, CHEK1, and ATM. We present here a unique case of hereditary breast-ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC) reported in Combined Military Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. It was marked by pathogenic variants in RAD51D, PALB2, CHEK1, and TP53 genes.

Objective: To execute a large-scale, decentralized, clinical-grade whole exome sequencing study, coined Tapestry, for clinical practice, research discovery, and genomic education.
Patients And Methods: Between July 1, 2020, and May 31, 2024, we invited 1,287,608 adult Mayo Clinic patients to participate in Tapestry. Of those contacted, 114,673 patients were consented and 98,222 (65.

The lifetime risk of breast and ovarian cancer increases substantially for individuals with mutations in . The evidence indicates that mutation carriers benefit from early cancer detection and prevention strategies. However, data on the patterns of risk-reducing interventions are lacking.
