Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The investigators will recruit and enroll individuals that may have the KRAS-variant or other microRNA binding site mutations to join registry studies. The investigators will allow individuals to obtain their results through a physician at the completion of the studies. The investigators current focus is cancer and autoimmunity.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (4)
- label
- Family Registry
- description
- For individuals identified with the KRAS-variant. Patients will be prospectively followed to determine the impact of lifestyle on disease risk.
- interventionNames
- Genetic: KRAS-variant and microRNA binding site mutation testing
- label
- Double primary breast cancer
- description
- Women with multiple primary breast cancer will be tested for the KRAS-variant and compared between those with this mutation and those without.
- interventionNames
- Genetic: KRAS-variant and microRNA binding site mutation testing
- label
- Autoimmunity
- description
- We have shown that the KRAS-variant and other members of this genetic class of mutations associate with altered immunity, leading to immunosuppression as well as autoimmunity.
