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 PLEKHM1
The protein encoded by this gene is essential for bone resorption, and may play a critical role in vesicular transport in the osteoclast. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive osteopetrosis type 6 (OPTB6). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
