September 20, 2023 Aisling Hegarty, _RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences_ and Leonie Young, _RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences_ Family history may be the most

important thing to take into account when it comes to breast cancer risk. August 23, 2019 Mark Postans, _Cardiff University_ and Carl J Hodgetts, _Cardiff University_ Scientists explain why

commercial gene testing should be used with caution. October 17, 2018 Michael Murray, _Yale University_ Individuals who carry the breast cancer genes BRCA1 or BRCA2 are often unaware of the

fact. That suggests that physicians need a new way to apply DNA-based screens to identify those at risk. September 12, 2018 Jay Shendure, _University of Washington_; Greg Findlay,

_University of Washington_, and Lea Starita, _University of Washington_ Mutations in BRCA genes are linked to the early onset of breast and ovarian cancers. But the effect of most mutations

is unclear. Now new research can distinguish harmless from dangerous mutations. May 24, 2018 Carolyn Sue Richards, _Oregon Health & Science University_ We now have the capacity to

quickly and cheaply sequence an individual’s genome and scour it for disease-causing genes. But how much, and what type, of information does a parent-to-be want to know? May 14, 2018

Catharine Wang, _Boston University_ More people are sending off saliva samples to find out about their genetic roots. But the raw DNA results go way beyond genealogical data – and could

deliver unintended consequences. May 3, 2018 Katherine Drabiak, _University of South Florida_ A genetics testing company recently won approval from the FDA to market a test that can identify

a breast cancer gene mutation. But what are women supposed to do with that information? There’s risk involved. October 8, 2015 Kum Kum Khanna, _Queensland Institute of Medical Research_;

Amanda L Bain, _QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute_, and Janelle L Harris, _QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute_ The recipients of this year’s Nobel Prize for Chemistry showed

that DNA is far from static. Rather, it is bombarded by damaging forces, but our bodies know how to repair these precious strands. October 7, 2015 Sasha Petrova, _The Conversation_

Australia’s highest court has ruled a gene mutation linked to cancer cannot be patented, ending a long battle over whether companies can own the rights to genetic material. June 30, 2015

Caroline Ford, _UNSW Sydney_ and Orin Chisholm, _UNSW Sydney_ What if you could take a simple test to reveal your individual risk of developing a range of cancers and hundreds of other

diseases? June 19, 2015 Luigi Palombi, _Murdoch University_ The High Court challenge is the last resort for Ms D'Arcy’s test case against companies patenting human genes and has

implications for patients, clinicians and researchers. September 5, 2014 Rodney Scott, _University of Newcastle_ The Federal Court’s decision that gene patenting is permitted in Australia

will have ramifications for all gene patents, even though the case involved only one gene associated with breast cancer. A gene… September 5, 2014 Reema Rattan, _The Conversation_ A Federal

Court decision to allow gene patents could open the way for existing patents to be enforced more strongly in Australia, according to an expert in intellectual property. Biotechnology

companies… June 27, 2014 Kyle Matchett, _Queen's University Belfast_ Angelina Jolie made the decision to have a double mastectomy after discovering she carried a faulty copy of the

hereditary gene BRCA1 and was told she had an 87% chance of developing breast cancer. Jolie… February 25, 2014 University of Toronto Women with the BRCA1 mutation should have their ovaries

removed before the age of 35 to reduce their risk of ovarian and… August 5, 2013 Sunanda Creagh, _The Conversation_ Use of the anti-cancer drug Tamoxifen is associated with a dramatically

reduced risk of developing a second breast tumour among women with a high risk gene mutation who have experienced breast cancer already… June 14, 2013 John Liddicoat, _University of

Tasmania_ and Dianne Nicol, _University of Tasmania_ All nine members of the US Supreme Court have ruled that isolated genetic material cannot be patented – unless the material is markedly

different to what exists in nature. The court ruled against Myriad… May 21, 2013 Lucy Side, _UCL_ Following Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie’s revelation last week that she’d undergone a

double mastectomy to prevent breast cancer, it has emerged that a 53-year-old man had his prostate removed after… May 16, 2013 Clara Gaff, _WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical

Research) _ and Clare Scott, _WEHI (Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research) _ Angelina Jolie’s recent announcement about her double mastectomy likely caused many women to think

about their own chance of developing breast cancer. But before you rush off to have a bunch of possibly… May 16, 2013 Jane Ussher, _Western Sydney University_ Angelina Jolie has attracted

much attention for revealing her recent experience of a double mastectomy. But her personal attractiveness draws attention to a neglected aspect of cancer treatment and survival…
