Clinical classification of the BRCA2 variant is based on genome editing
A machine learning-based algorithm has been used to predict the risk of breast and ovarian cancer in women with BRCA2 variants, based on genome-wide transcriptome data. A computational model was used for classification of BRCA2 variants using mouse embryonic stem cell-based functional assays. Genetic variants in BRCA2 are associated with breast cancer and ovarian cancer, respectively.

Innovative cancer therapies can help you cope with cancer
Researchers have shown that an antibody, anti-OX40, directly stimulates T cells, which are the body’s immune system’s attack centres, to destroy cancer tumours. It is the first time that a TLR9-activating drug has been used in a human clinical trial to treat a tumour in mice, they added. They further found that the antibody was also active in the cells of breast cancer.
