BackgroundIndividuals with germline BRCA1 and BRCA2 pathogenic variants (BRCA carriers) are at high risk of developing high grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC). HGSC is predominantly driven by TP53 mutations, but mutations in this gene ar…
BackgroundBreast cancer is a leading cause of death in premenopausal women. Progesterone drives expansion of luminal progenitor cells, leading to the development of poor-prognostic breast cancers. However, it is not known if antagonising pr…
Current screening methods for ovarian cancer (OC) have failed to demonstrate a significant reduction in mortality. Uterine lavage combined with TP53 ultra-deep sequencing for the detection of disseminated OC cells has emerged as a promising…
ObjectivePap tests hold promise as a molecular diagnostic for serous ovarian cancer, but previous studies reported limited sensitivity. Furthermore, the presence of somatic mutations in normal tissue is increasingly recognized as a challeng…
Cancer is a disease of aging fueled by the accumulation of somatic mutations. While mutations in tumors are well characterized, little is known about the early mutational processes that initiate tumorigenesis. Recent advances in next-genera…
High-accuracy next-generation DNA sequencing promises a paradigm shift in early cancer detection by enabling the identification of mutant cancer molecules in minimally invasive body fluid samples. We demonstrate 80% sensitivity for ovarian …
DNA mutations are inevitable. Despite proficient DNA repair mechanisms, somatic cells accumulate mutations during development and aging, generating cells with different genotypes within the same individual, a phenomenon known as somatic mos…
