      Hovland, Henrikke Nilsen; Al-Adhami, Rafal; Ariansen, Sarah Louise; Van Ghelue, Marijke; Sjursen, Wenche; Anfinsen, Sigrid Lima; Bolstad, Marte; Berger, Amund Holte; Vetti, Hildegunn Høberg; Knappskog, Per Morten; Haukanes, Bjørn Ivar; Aukrust, Ingvild; Ognedal, Elisabet (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Pathogenic germline variants in Breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) predispose carriers to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). Through genetic testing of patients with suspected HBOC an increasing number ...

      Sjursen, Wenche; Haukanes, Bjørn Ivar; Grindedal, Eli Marie; Aarset, Harald; Stormorken, Astrid Tenden; Engebretsen, Lars Fredrik; Jonsrud, Christoffer; Bjørnevoll, Inga; Andresen, Per Arne; Ariansen, Sarah; Lavik, Liss Anne S.; Gilde, Bodil; Bowitz-Lothe, Inger Marie; Mæhle, Lovise; Møller, Pål (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-09)
      Background: Reported prevalence, penetrance and expression of deleterious mutations in the mismatch repair (MMR) genes, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 and PMS2, may reflect differences in the clinical criteria used to select families ...
    • Functional Analyses of Rare Germline Missense BRCA1 Variants Located within and outside Protein Domains with Known Functions 

      Hovland, Henrikke Nilsen; Mchaina, Eunice Kabanyana; Vetti, Hildegunn Høberg; Ariansen, Sarah Louise; Sjursen, Wenche; Van Ghelue, Marijke; Haukanes, Bjørn Ivar; Knappskog, Per Morten; Aukrust, Ingvild; Berge, Elisabet Ognedal (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-01-19)
      The BRCA1 protein is implicated in numerous important cellular processes to prevent genomic instability and tumorigenesis, and pathogenic germline variants predispose carriers to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). ...
