In some FA genes, monoallelic mutations have been found to be associated with breast cancer risk, while the risk associations of others remain unknown. The gene for FA type C, FANCC, has been proposed as a breast cancer susceptibility gene based on epidemiological and sequencing studies. We used the Oncoarray project to genotype two truncating FANCC variants (p.R185X and p.R548X) in 64,760 breast cancer cases and 49,793 controls of European descent. FANCC mutations were observed in 25 cases (14 with p.R185X, 11 with p.R548X) and 26 controls (18 with p.R185X, 8 with p.R548X). There was no evidence of an association with the risk of breast cancer, neither overall (odds ratio 0.77, 95\%CI 0.44-1.33, p = 0.4) nor by histology, hormone receptor status, age or family history. We conclude that the breast cancer risk association of these two FANCC variants, if any, is much smaller than for BRCA1, BRCA2 or PALB2 mutations. If this applies to all truncating variants in FANCC it would suggest there are differences between FA genes in their roles on breast cancer risk and demonstrates the merit of large consortia for clarifying risk associations of rare variants.}, language = {en} } @article{GehrkeScherzadHagenetal.2019, author = {Gehrke, Thomas and Scherzad, Agmal and Hagen, Rudolf and Hackenberg, Stephan}, title = {Risk factors for children requiring adenotonsillectomy and their impact on postoperative complications: a retrospective analysis of 2000 patients}, series = {Anaesthesia}, volume = {74}, journal = {Anaesthesia}, number = {12}, doi = {10.1111/anae.14844}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-204787}, pages = {1572-1579}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Adenotonsillectomies are commonly performed procedures and sleep-disordered breathing is becoming increasingly important as an indication for surgery. Because of the higher risks in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea, the required level of postoperative care for these patients is currently under discussion, and better identification of patients at risk may reduce unnecessary postoperative monitoring. To evaluate the influence of obstructive sleep apnoea, and other risk factors, on peri-operative complications in children requiring adenotonsillectomy, we performed a retrospective case-control study that included 1995 patients treated between January 2009 and June 2017. In our analysis, young age (OR 3.8, 95\%CI 2.1-7.1), low body weight (OR 2.6, 95\%CI 1.5-4.4), obstructive sleep apnoea (OR 2.4, 95\%CI 1.5-3.8), pre-existing craniofacial or syndromal disorders (OR 2.3, 95\%CI 1.4-3.8) and adenotonsillectomy, compared with adenoidectomy alone, (OR 7.9, 95\%CI 4.7-13.1) were identified as risk factors for complications during or after surgery, p < 0.001. All 13 patients suffering from complications more than 3 h postoperatively had obstructive sleep apnoea plus at least one more of these risk factors. Patients at risk of postoperative complications can therefore be identified by several criteria pre-operatively, and should be monitored postoperatively using pulse oximetry overnight. For all other patients, postoperative observation on a surgical ward without extra monitoring is sufficient. Admission to paediatric intensive care should be reserved for patients suffering serious intra-operative complications.}, language = {en} } @article{WalkerMavrommatisWardelletal.2019, author = {Walker, Brian A. and Mavrommatis, Konstantinos and Wardell, Christopher P. and Ashby, T.

Multiple clinical, cytogenetic, or gene expression features have been used to identify high-risk patients, each of which has significant weaknesses. Inclusion of molecular features into risk stratification could resolve the current challenges. In a genome-wide analysis of the largest set of molecular and clinical data established to date from NDMM, as part of the Myeloma Genome Project, we have defined DNA drivers of aggressive clinical behavior. Whole-genome and exome data from 1273 NDMM patients identified genetic factors that contribute significantly to progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) (cumulative R2 = 18.4\% and 25.2\%, respectively). Integrating DNA drivers and clinical data into a Cox model using 784 patients with ISS, age, PFS, OS, and genomic data, the model has a cumlative R2 of 34.3\% for PFS and 46.5\% for OS. A high-risk subgroup was defined by recursive partitioning using either a) bi-allelic TP53 inactivation or b) amplification (≥4 copies) of CKS1B (1q21) on the background of International Staging System III, comprising 6.1\% of the population (median PFS = 15.4 months; OS = 20.7 months) that was validated in an independent dataset. Double-Hit patients have a dire prognosis despite modern therapies and should be considered for novel therapeutic approaches.}, language = {en} }
