Pancreatic Cancer Genetics

Molecular Genetics and Epidemiology of Pancreatic Cancer in Ashkenazi Jewish Patients

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 6 May 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The aim of this study is to determine the frequency of the three most common BReast CAncer gene 1 (BRCA1) and BReast CAncer gene 2 (BRCA2) genetic mutations that are commonly found in Ashkenazi Jewish patients with pancreatic cancer. Testing for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations in relatives of hereditary pancreatic cancer patients may have a significant impact; allowing for early screening, treatment, and resection of pre-malignant tissue or malignant lesions.
