Case 1
A 66-year-old male complaining of chest pain is brought to the emergency room by ambulance. The pain began six hours ago and has become more severe over the past hour prompting him to call emergency services. He describes the pain as retro-sternal, pressure-like, and non-radiating. He had some mild dyspnea and nausea accompanying the pain. He has also noted intermittent palpitations since last evening.
He has a past medical history of hypertension (not currently under treatment) and tobacco use of one pack per day of cigarettes for the past 47 years. Vital signs on arrival to the emergency room show a blood pressure of 160/100 mmHg, a heart rate of 92 beats per minute, and a respiratory rate of 18 per minute. His physical exam is unremarkable. He reports no allergies and no medication use.
Both EKG and cardiac enzymes are pointing towards “anterolateral infarction”. At hospital he got thrombolytic treatment. In the first 4-5 hours post-thrombolytic treatment his chest pain and other sign and symptoms were disappeared. However, two days after the onset of the chest pain he had a cardiac arrest and died. His cardiac pathology image is seen here:

Case 2
J.F. is a 26-year-old woman in the clinic today for her annual physical examination. As you take her medical history, it becomes apparent that she is quite concerned about her risk for developing breast cancer. Her mother and a maternal aunt both developed breast cancer in their late 40s. J.F. has heard that genetic testing can be done to see whether she carries “breast cancer genes.”
Questions:
Assuming J.F. is talking about the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, explain the role that these genes have in the genetic mechanisms of breast cancer.
If genetic testing reveals that J.F. does carry the BRCA1 gene, what does this mean for her risk of developing breast cancer?
What proportion of breast cancer cases can be attributed to inherited forms?
What other cancer would J.F. be at risk for given the presence of the BRCA1 gene? How significant is that risk?
What other risk factors should be investigated to evaluate J.F.’s risk for breast cancer?
