This multi-stage genome-wide association study in 11,705 BRCA1 mutation carriers identified three novel cancer risk-modifying loci: rs2290854 at 1q32 associated with breast cancer (HR=1.14), and rs17631303 (HR=1.27) and rs4691139 (HR=1.20) at 17q21.31 and 4q32.3 respectively associated with ovarian cancer. The 4q32.3 locus showed BRCA1-specific associations. These findings enable improved absolute risk estimation for BRCA1 carriers, with estimated breast cancer lifetime risks ranging from 28-50% for the lowest-risk 5% to 81-100% for the highest-risk 5%.
About TCF7L2
This gene encodes a high mobility group (HMG) box-containing transcription factor that plays a key role in the Wnt signaling pathway. The protein has been implicated in blood glucose homeostasis. Genetic variants of this gene are associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes. Several transcript variants encoding multiple different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2010]
