Disease ID | Source | Name | Description |
613348 | OMIM | Pancreatic cancer 3 (PNCA3) | A malignant neoplasm of the pancreas. Tumors can arise from both the exocrine and endocrine portions of the pancreas, but 95% of them develop from the exocrine portion, including the ductal epithelium, acinar cells, connective tissue, and lymphatic tissue. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
610832 | OMIM | Fanconi anemia complementation group N (FANCN) | A disorder affecting all bone marrow elements and resulting in anemia, leukopenia and thrombopenia. It is associated with cardiac, renal and limb malformations, dermal pigmentary changes, and a predisposition to the development of malignancies. At the cellular level it is associated with hypersensitivity to DNA-damaging agents, chromosomal instability (increased chromosome breakage) and defective DNA repair. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
114480 | OMIM | Breast cancer (BC) | A common malignancy originating from breast epithelial tissue. Breast neoplasms can be distinguished by their histologic pattern. Invasive ductal carcinoma is by far the most common type. Breast cancer is etiologically and genetically heterogeneous. Important genetic factors have been indicated by familial occurrence and bilateral involvement. Mutations at more than one locus can be involved in different families or even in the same case. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Breast cancer susceptibility is strongly associated with PALB2 truncating mutations. Conversely, rare missense mutations do not strongly influence breast cancer risk (PubMed:22241545). |
