There is one clinical trial.
The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of the three most common BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic mutations that are commonly found in Ashkenazi Jewish patients with pancreatic cancer. Testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in relatives of hereditary pancreatic cancer patients may have a significant impact; allowing for early screening, treatment, and resection of pre-malignant tissue or malignant lesions.
Determine the frequency of disease modifying mutations such as MSH2 A636P, APC I1307K, P53, R72P, CHEK2 S428F, RAD51 G135C and MTHFR V222A.. Inclusion Criteria: - Patients diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. --- A636P --- --- I1307K --- --- R72P ---
Description: The primary aim of this study is to determine the combined frequency of BRCA1 (185delAG, 5382insC) and BRCA2(6174delT) mutations in Ashkenazi Jewish pancreatic cancer patients.
Measure: Frequency of Three BRCA1/2 Mutations in Ashkenazi Jewish Patients Time: 1 yearDescription: Individual frequency of these mutations three mutations BRCA1 (185delAG, 5382insC) and BRCA2 (6174delT) mutations.
Measure: Individual Frequency of Three Mutations Time: 1 yearDescription: Determine the frequency of disease modifying mutations such as MSH2 A636P, APC I1307K, P53, R72P, CHEK2 S428F, RAD51 G135C and MTHFR V222A.
Measure: Frequency of disease modifying mutations Time: 1 year
