Abstract
Introduction. The absence of pathognomonic symptoms and effective early screening methods of ovarian cancer dictates the need for search new molecular genetic markers of this disease.
Aim: to find the polymorphic variant rs113488022/BRAF in women from the Republic of Bashkortostan.
Methods. This study included DNA samples from women with sporadic ovarian cancer (n=210), hereditary ovarian cancer (n=72), and women without oncopathology (n=208). Genotyping was performed using real-time PCR.
Results. No carriers of the minor allele of the polymorphic locus rs113488022 of the BRAF gene were identified among the women included in the study.
Conclusions. The absence of carriers of the rare allele rs113488022/BRAF may be explained by the low prevalence of this polymorphism in the region, highlighting the need for further genetic research to identify other potential genetic predictors of ovarian cancer.
