Ovarian cancer

The Wikipedia article on ovarian cancer is a good place to start.

SNPs reported to influence ovarian cancer often overlap those for breast cancer. The following genes may affect risk of ovarian cancer:

• HOXD3
  • rs2072590

• SYNE1
  • rs2295190

• PMS2
  • rs7797466

• RB1
  • rs2227311
  • rs4151620
  • rs2854344

• PGR
  • rs1042838
  • rs608995

• SKAP1
  • rs9303542

• SRD5A2
  • rs523349

• TIPARP
  • rs2665390

As for the good news, some SNPs confer lower risk of ovarian cancer:

• rs3218536 in the DNA repair gene XRCC2
• rs4151620 in the RB1 gene
• rs3814113 in the ch 9p22.2 region
• rs10088218 in the ch 8q24 region
