Gene variants and breast cancer risk in Black women
Breast cancer is the most often diagnosed cancer in many parts of the world, including the U.S. More than 310,000 new cases are expected nationwide this year.
- In the largest study of its kind, researchers identified genetic variants that appear to boost breast cancer risk among females of African ancestry.

Genetic and biological drivers of prostate cancer disparities in Black men
Black men with prostate cancer have historically had worse outcomes than white men with prostate cancer. The causes of this disparity in outcomes are multi-factorial, but a potential basis is that prostate cancers in Black men are biologically distinct from prostate cancers in white men. Evidence suggests that genetic and ancestral factors, molecular pathways involving androgen and non-androgen receptor signalling, inflammation, epigenetics, the tumour microenvironment and tumour metabolism are contributing factors to the racial disparities observed. Key genetic and molecular pathways linked to prostate cancer risk and aggressiveness have potential clinical relevance. Describing biological drivers of prostate cancer disparities could inform efforts to improve outcomes for Black men with prostate cancer.

Genetic variation common among Black individuals is associated with higher risk of heart failure and death
A new
study published in the
Journal of the American Medical Association led by researchers from the
University of Alabama at Birmingham Marnix E. Heersink School of Medicine found that being a carrier of a genetic variation known as Val122Ile in the transthyretin, or TTR gene, was significantly associated with an increased risk of heart failure and death. Research shows that this Val122Ile variation is more commonly seen among individuals of African ancestry.

NIH scientists link genetics to risk of high blood pressure among blacks
Variants in the gene
ARMC5 may be associated with high blood pressure among blacks, according to a National Institutes of Health study led by researchers at the
Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). The study team identified 17 variants in the
ARMC5 gene that were associated with high blood pressure by analyzing genetic research databases that include those of African descent. The study is published in the July 3, 2019, issue of the
Journal of the American Heart Association.
The researchers identified 17 variants of
ARMC5 that were associated with blood pressure among blacks. One variant, called
rs116201073, was “protective” and associated with lower blood pressure. It was more common than the others, and it appeared limited to people of African descent, as it is found only in Africans in the international 1000 Genomes Project.
The researchers also reconstructed the
rs116201073 variant in cell lines and found that it was more active than other variants of the
ARMC5 gene. However, the exact function of the
ARMC5 gene is unclear, and more work is needed to understand what the gene does and how variants may protect or predispose a person to high blood pressure.
