Abstract
BACKGROUND: The promoter region is a key element of gene expression regulation. In mammals, most of the genes present, at the level of their promoter, a large number of islands CpG. Age also is seen as another factor for developing breast cell cancer reaching the tumour stage. AIM: This study aimed to explore the hypermethylation of the BRCA1/2 promoter gene in women breast cancer and correlation with age and tumour stage. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Fifty biopsies were derived from Moroccan women treated for breast carcinoma, the DNA extracted was treated by bisulphite and the targeted BRCA1/2 Amplicons were amplified by specific methylation primers (MSP). RESULTS: The result shows that 62% of the samples were BRCA1 methylated in addition and negative result for BRCA2, these positive epigenetic factor were remarkable in women over 47 years and at the stage of malignant tumour. CONCLUSION: These results show that half of the methylated samples are positive with a majority of over 47 years old, and confirms that age might be an additional factor for breast cancer development.
