Glossary Term
A family of discrete probability density functions, which models systems that meet the following requirements: 1) the number of trials (n) is fixed; 2) there are only two outcomes for each trial, success or failure; 3) the outcome of each trial is independent; and 4) all trials have the same probability (p) of success. Binomial distributions show the likelihood of the number of successful trials versus the total number of trials.
Tests
BRCA is short for "breast cancer gene." A BRCA genetic test uses a sample of your blood, saliva (spit), or cells from inside of your cheek to look for changes in your BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Genes are parts of DNA in your cells that you inherit from your parents. You inherit two copies of each gene, one from each parent. Genes carry information that controls what you look like and how your body works.
Indicators
This gene plays a role in cell cycle control, regulation of transcription and the maintenance of genomic stability. It is also involved in the inhibition of mammary cell growth.
Tests
The determination of the amount of breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein present in a sample.
Indicators
This gene is involved in DNA double-strand break repair.
Indicators
C-reactive protein (224 aa, ~25 kDa) is encoded by the human CRP gene. This protein is cleaved during biological activation and is associated with host defense mechanisms and inflammatory responses.
Tests
The determination of the amount of cadherin 1 in a sample.
Tests
The determination of the amount of the cancer antigen 1 in a sample.
Indicators
Proteins released into blood when heart muscle is injured; the central laboratory marker in suspected heart attack.
Tests
Blood proteins released when heart muscle is injured; the primary laboratory marker in the evaluation of possible acute myocardial infarction.
Tests
The determination of cellular CD107a expression in a biospecimen.
