Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and their collaborators focused on the 'cancer protection' gene RAD51C, finding over 3,000 harmful genetic changes that could potentially disrupt its ...

The gene RAD51C is a “cancer protection” gene that encodes a protein crucial for DNA repair. Variants in this gene that stop the protein from working are known to increase the risk of breast ...

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK, ... Characterization of Variants of Uncertain Significance Identifies a Hotspot for Inactivating Missense Variants in RAD51C’ Cancer Research.

Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and their collaborators focused on the 'cancer protection' gene RAD51C, finding over 3,000 harmful genetic changes that could potentially disrupt its ...

Similar to the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, pathogenic mutations in RAD51C are linked to higher risks of breast and ovarian cancer due to impaired ability to repair damaged DNA. But more than half of RAD51C ...

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women in the United States. Thanks to decades of fundamental research, ...

A Caltech-led team has developed a safe, effective, and painless breast imaging technique that incorporates machine learning ...

When she brought up cryoablation to her medical oncologist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham O’Neal Comprehensive ...

Rebeca Olvera-León, first author of the study at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, said: “This research demonstrates that genetic risk for breast and ovarian cancer isn't a simple yes-or-no scenario, but ...

The RAD51C gene encodes a protein crucial for DNA repair. Variants in this gene that stop the protein from working are known to increase the risk of breast and ovarian cancers and rarely, if there ...
