The present study was carried out to detect the prevalence of EGFR mutations and EML4-ALK fusions in EGFR mutation-negative cases of NSCLC (adenocarcinoma) as well as to evaluate the clinical characteristics of EGFR mutations and EML4-ALK fusions in EGFR mutation-negative cases of NSCLC.
In addition to breast cancer, mutations in the BRCA1 gene also increase the risk of ovarian cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer. The BRCA1 gene is located on chromosome 17q21 -- the long (q) arm of chromosome 17 at position 21.The symbol BRCA stands for BReast CAncer.any are associated with an increased risk of cancer. These mutations can be changes in one or a small number of DNA base pairs, or, in some cases, large rearrangements of DNA. A mutated BRCA1 gene usually makes a protein that does not function properly because it is abnormally short.
