Cancer-free women with a hereditary predisposition to breast and/or ovarian cancer
This proof-of-concept trial will be conducted with family members being monitored for a predisposition to breast and/or ovarian cancer linked to a BRCA1/2 gene mutation. The study will be proposed to two sisters from the same sibling: * one is a carrier of the genetic mutation * and the other not, Blood tests will evaluate the Mutation Burden cfMB
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
30
Blood samples will be collected (one time only)

RECRUITINGComparing the mutational burden in a person genetically predisposed to cancer with that of a non-predisposed relative
Measurement and quantification of genomic signature on circulating DNA (mutational burden) derived from whole blood in a carrier of the genetic mutation and in her non-carrier first-degree relative.
Time frame: At the enrollment in the study (one point)
Mutation profiling, COSMIC-type signature generation
Evaluate mutational signatures on circulating free DNA (cfDNA) in correlation with hereditary predisposition linked to the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes
Time frame: At the enrollment in the study (one point)
Identify and evaluate complementary or alternative molecular signatures
Study of epigenetic biomarkers, such as circulating histone methylation
Time frame: At the enrollment in the study (one point)
