Project description:Family health history can help identify patients at higher than average risk for disease. There is no standardized system for collecting and updating family health history, using this information to determine a patient’s disease risk level, and providing screening recommendations to patients and providers. Patients will enter their family health history into MeTree, a family history software program. The program will produce screening recommendations tailored to the patient’s family health history. The investigators will examine whether this process increases physician referrals for, and patient uptake of, guideline-recommended screening for colorectal cancer.

Project description:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is characterized by insulin resistance and pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction. In high-risk subjects, the earliest detectable abnormality is insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. Impaired insulin-mediated signaling, gene expression, and glycogen synthesis, and accumulation of intramyocellular triglycerides have all been linked with insulin resistance, but no specific defect responsible for insulin resistance and DM has been identified in humans. To identify genes potentially important in the pathogenesis of DM, we analyzed gene expression in skeletal muscle from healthy metabolically characterized nondiabetic (family history negative and positive for DM) and diabetic Mexican-American subjects. We demonstrate that insulin resistance and DM associate with reduced expression of multiple nuclear respiratory factor-1 (NRF-1)-dependent genes encoding key enzymes in oxidative metabolism and mitochondrial function. While NRF-1 expression is decreased only in diabetic subjects, expression of both PPARg coactivator 1-alpha and -beta (PGC1-a/PPARGC1, and PGC1-b/PERC), coactivators of NRF-1 and PPARg-dependent transcription, is decreased in both diabetic subjects and family history positive nondiabetic subjects. Decreased PGC1 expression may be responsible for decreased expression of NRFdependent genes, leading to the metabolic disturbances characteristic of insulin resistance and DM. Human muscle samples were obtained from five subjects with type 2 diabetes and ten subjects without diabetes, as well as 5 aliquots from a single subject without diabetes. The subjects without diabetes were further classified as family history positive (four subjects) or family history negative (six subjects).

Project description:The aim of this study is to identify more persons with advanced neoplasia in the current national CRC screening, by adding data on family history of CRC (using a validated online questionnaire) to FIT. In addition, the aim is to identify those persons and their family members who should not be participating in a FIT based screening but receive surveillance colonoscopies instead, because of a familial CRC syndrome. It is aimed to increase detection without affecting participation, thereby increasing the yield of screening.

Project description:Genome-Wide Screening of Genomic Alterations and Transcriptional Modulation in Non-Smoking Female Lung Cancer in Taiwan Sixty-one pairs of cancer and normal lung tissue specimens from non-smoking females were collected at National Taiwan University Hospital and Taichung Veterans General Hospital. The selection criteria of clinical specimens depend on pathology report, physical examination and cigarette-smoking history. Surgical lung tissue specimens were immediately snap-frozen in liquid N2 and stored at -80 °C. Surgical specimens would be further processed for RNA and DNA extraction. Only those samples passed quality controls were processed for gene expression profiling analysis and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis respectively.

Project description:A complete family history (FH) may identify persons at high risk for certain conditions. They can be offered genetic testing and life-saving screening and treatment. In practice, complete FH is rarely collected or entered into the electronic medical record (EMR). The Family History Screening Questionnaire is a survey patients complete to tell whether they are at increased risk of specific cancers, heart disease or diabetes. We will test a new way to record FH that includes an app to improve use of FH by family physicians and patients. The strategy includes education for patients and physicians about the importance of FH; patient completion of the FH questionnaire prior to appointments; and prompts in the EMR. We expect this to help family physicians and patients interpret FH and make the best decisions. We will assess the proportion of patients with new EMR FH information. We will explore if the strategy increases appropriate referrals for screening and genetic consultation for those at increased FH risk. We will also obtain patients’ and physicians’ feedback on this strategy. This new approach may improve FH information exchange between patients and physicians, encourage shared decision-making and reduce cancer deaths and chronic disease burden.

Project description:Interventions: Group 1: We want to evaluate the frequency of a family history of colorectal cancer (CRC) and advanced adenomas in 40-54 year old persons in a general practitioner (GP) setting and identify the variables (e.g. demographic, genetic, epigenetic and proteomic biomarkers) that are associated with it. In addition, we want to detect informed decision, anxiety and regret with respect to screening. The health care assistant in the general practice will contact eligible patients and complete the Network against colorectal cancer questionnaire. For those who have a positive family history the GP will provide family members related to CRC patients with adequate evidence-based information and describe prevention strategies. We plan to examine the participant´s family history of CRC in detail and further variables (e.g. demographics) associated with an increased risk will be collected. Additional stool and blood samples will be collected from study-participants who decide to undergo a colonoscopy (n~350) and analyzed in the German Cancer Research Center (DKZF) Heidelberg to see whether further relevant variables are associated with an increased risk of CRC
We expect that about 8,750 person in 50 general practices in Hesse will be asked, of those about 875 are expected to have a positive family history of colorectal cancer. Of those, we expect around 350 persons to follow the invitation to have a colonoscopy.
Primary outcome(s): Frequency of a family history of (colorectal) cancer and advanced adenomas in a GP setting

Project description:A great percentage of patients with multiple primary cancers (MPCs) and family history of cancer are suspected to have a hereditary cancer predisposition syndrome. However, only a small proportion of these cases are explained by mutations in high-penetrance genes, suggesting the involvement of undiscovered genes in cancer predisposition. In this study, we report the molecular and clinical characterization of two unrelated patients with MPCs, a positive family history of cancer, no germline pathogenic mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2 and TP53 genes and large genomic rearrangements mapped on chromosome 7q.
