BRIP1 variations analysis reveals their relative importance as genetic susceptibility factor for cervical cancer.Chen et al., Xi'an, China. In Biochem Biophys Res Commun, 06 Apr 2013
To evaluate the association between gene variations in BRIP1 (BRCA1-interacting protein 1) and the risk of cervical cancer, we examined eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs: rs2048718, rs12937080, rs4988344, rs6504074, rs4988345, rs4986764, rs4986763, and rs11079454) in the BRIP1 gene in cervical tissue from a Chinese population using the MassARRAY system.
Oxidative stress in Fanconi anaemia: from cells and molecules towards prospects in clinical management.Degan et al., Napoli, Italy. In Biol Chem, 2012
Some FA gene products involved in redox homeostasis can be summarized as follows: (a) FANCA, FANCC, and FANCG interact with cytochrome P450-related activities and/or respond to oxidative damage; (b) FANCD2 in OS response interacts with forkhead box O3 and ataxia telangiectasia mutated protein; (c) FANCG is found in mitochondria and interacts with PRDX3, and FA-G cells display distorted mitochondria and decreased peroxidase activity; (d) FANCJ (BACH1/BRIP1) is a repressor of haeme oxygenase-1 gene and senses oxidative base damage; (e) antioxidants, such as tempol and resveratrol decrease cancer incidence and haematopoietic defects in Fancd2(-/-) mice.
RAD51 and breast cancer susceptibility: no evidence for rare variant association in the Breast Cancer Family Registry study.Lesueur et al., Lyon, France. In Plos One, 2011
BACKGROUND: Although inherited breast cancer has been associated with germline mutations in genes that are functionally involved in the DNA homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway, including BRCA1, BRCA2, TP53, ATM, BRIP1, CHEK2 and PALB2, about 70% of breast cancer heritability remains unexplained.
Mutations in BRIP1 confer high risk of ovarian cancer.Stefansson et al., Reykjavík, Iceland. In Nat Genet, 2011
We discovered a rare (0.41% allelic frequency) frameshift mutation, c.2040_2041insTT, in the BRIP1 (FANCJ) gene that confers an increase in ovarian cancer risk (odds ratio (OR) = 8.13, P = 2.8 × 10(-14)).
Inherited mutations in breast cancer genes--risk and response.Foulkes et al., Montréal, Canada. In J Mammary Gland Biol Neoplasia, 2011
Meanwhile, an understanding of the function of BRCA1 and BRCA2 in the DNA damage response pathway has lead to the identification of a number of breast cancer susceptibility genes including PALB2, CHEK2, ATM and BRIP1, all of which interact directly or indirectly with BRCA1 or BRCA2.
Structure of the DNA repair helicase XPD.White et al., Saint Andrews, United Kingdom. In Cell, 2008
The XPD helicase (Rad3 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a component of transcription factor IIH (TFIIH), which functions in transcription initiation and Nucleotide Excision Repair in eukaryotes, catalyzing DNA duplex opening localized to the transcription start site or site of DNA damage, respectively.
