Method A national school-based cross-sectional survey with nine schools in Germany was undertaken that was aimed at students from grades 7 and 8. Of the 1775 students who were contacted to participate in the study, 1654 participated (participation rate: 93.2\%). The sample consisted of 873 female and 781 male adolescents (mean age=13.4 years). Prevalence rates were established using direct symptom criteria with a structured inventory (SIAB-S) and an additional self-report questionnaire (Eating Disorder Inventory 2 (EDI-2)). Results Prevalences for full syndrome were 0.3\% for AN, 0.4\% for BN, 0.5\% for BED and 3.6\% for OSFED-atypical AN, 0\% for BN (low frequency/limited duration), 0\% for BED (low frequency/limited duration) and 1.9\% for purging disorder (PD). Prevalences of partial syndrome were 10.9\% for AN (7.1\% established with cognitive symptoms only, excluding weight criteria), 0.2\% for BN and 2.1\% for BED, and of subthreshold syndrome were 0.8\% for AN, 0.3\% for BN and 0.2\% for BED. Cases on EDI-2 scales were much more pronounced with 12.6-21.1\% of the participants with significant sex differences. Conclusions The findings were in accordance with corresponding international studies but were in contrast to other German studies showing much higher prevalence rates. The study provides, for the first time, estimates for DSM-5 prevalences of eating disorders in adolescents for Germany, and evidence in favour of using valid measures for improving prevalence estimates."}, language = {en} } @article{HaukeHorvathGrossetal.2018, author = {Hauke, Jan and Horvath, Judit and Groß, Eva and Gehrig, Andrea and Honisch, Ellen and Hackmann, Karl and Schmidt, Gunnar and Arnold, Norbert and Faust, Ulrike and Sutter, Christian and Hentschel, Julia and Wang-Gohrke, Shan and Smogavec, Mateja and Weber, Bernhard H.

In this study, 5589 consecutive BC index patients negative for pathogenic BRCA1/2 mutations and 2189 female controls were screened for germ line mutations in eight cancer predisposition genes (ATM, CDH1, CHEK2, NBN, PALB2, RAD51C, RAD51D, and TP53). All patients met the inclusion criteria of the German Consortium for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer for germ line testing. The highest mutation prevalence was observed in the CHEK2 gene (2.5\%), followed by ATM (1.5\%) and PALB2 (1.2\%). The mutation prevalence in each of the remaining genes was 0.3\% or lower. Using Exome Aggregation Consortium control data, we confirm significant associations of heterozygous germ line mutations with BC for ATM (OR: 3.63, 95\%CI: 2.67-4.94), CDH1 (OR: 17.04, 95\%CI: 3.54-82), CHEK2 (OR: 2.93, 95\%CI: 2.29-3.75), PALB2 (OR: 9.53, 95\%CI: 6.25-14.51), and TP53 (OR: 7.30, 95\%CI: 1.22-43.68). NBN germ line mutations were not significantly associated with BC risk (OR:1.39, 95\%CI: 0.73-2.64). Due to their low mutation prevalence, the RAD51C and RAD51D genes require further investigation. Compared with control datasets, predicted damaging rare missense variants were significantly more prevalent in CHEK2 and TP53 in BC index patients. Compared with the overall sample, only TP53 mutation carriers show a significantly younger age at first BC diagnosis. We demonstrate a significant association of deleterious variants in the CHEK2, PALB2, and TP53 genes with bilateral BC. Both, ATM and CHEK2, were negatively associated with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and estrogen receptor (ER)-negative tumor phenotypes. A particularly high CHEK2 mutation prevalence (5.2\%) was observed in patients with human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive tumors.}, language = {en} }
