G1 Gene-environment-lifestyle factors in breast cancer susceptibility: machine learning tools to build predictive models
…predictive models for personalized breast screening. They were able to develop good predictive models for etiologies that would cause disease, and hope their model will aid in preventing breast cancer….
A two-stage association study identifies methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2 gene polymorphisms as candidates for breast cancer susceptibility
…a genome-wide study. They restricted their analysis to DNA polymorphisms and selected 22 SNPS. There were certain SNPs that were found to be relevant to breast cancer susceptibility in populations….
Inherited Chromosomally Integrated Human Herpesvirus 6 and Breast Cancer
…they wanted to do know if such a mutation predisposes a person to cancer development. They found there was no statistically significant association between HHV-6 and breast cancer in women….
Stage shifting by modifying the determinants of breast cancer stage at diagnosis: a simulation study
The researchers sought to understand how lifestyle factors influence the stage at which breast cancer is diagnosed. Using data from 492 participants in Alberta’s Tomorrow Project, they found that increasing…
Investigating the oral microbiome in retrospective and prospective cases of prostate, colon, and breast cancer
Salivary samples from the Atlantic Partnership for Tomorrow’s Health (PATH) project and Alberta’s Tomorrow Project (ATP) to examine the existence of prostate, colon, and breast cancer biomarkers in the human…
Potential novel candidate polymorphisms identified in genome-wide association study for breast cancer susceptibility
…doing the two stages they were able to identify various genetic regions and the SNPs discssed could serve as a potential candidate loci for breast cancer in another replication study….
Identification of a Breast Cancer Susceptibility Locus at 4q31.22 Using a Genome-Wide Association Study Paradigm
…prognostic variants across studies. All SNP associations reported with breast cancer were also adjusted for body mass index (BMI). We report a strong association with 4q31.22-rs1429142 (combined per allele odds…
Breast cancer prediction using genome wide single nucleotide polymorphism data
These researchers studied 696 female participants and used an SNC model to determine whether a new subject would develop breast cancer or not….
Pre-diagnosis lifestyle, health history and psychosocial factors associated with stage at breast cancer diagnosis - Potential targets to shift stage earlier
This study aimed to examine associations between risk factors for breast cancer diagnosis, prior to and and at diagnosis. Some protective factors include older age at diagnosis, high household income,…
Exome Sequencing in BRCA1- and BRCA2-Negative Greek Families Identifies MDM1 and NBEAL1 as Candidate Risk Genes for Hereditary Breast Cancer.
This study used CARTaGENE control data to find there relationship between the BRAC1-2 genes and breast cancer…
