Cascade genetic testing of relatives from families with pathogenic variants associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) or Lynch syndrome (LS) has important implications for cancer prevention. We compared the characteristics of relatives from HBOC or LS families who did not have genetic testing (GT (−) group) with those who had genetic testing (GT (+) group), regardless of the outcome. Self-administered surveys collected cross-sectional data between September 2017 and December 2021 from relatives participating in the CASCADE cohort. We used multivariable logistic regression with LASSO variable selection. Among n = 115 relatives who completed the baseline survey, 38% (n = 44) were in the GT (−) group. Being male (OR: 2.79, 95% CI: 1.10–7.10) and without a previous cancer diagnosis (OR: 4.47, 95% CI: 1.03–19.42) increased the odds of being untested by almost three times. Individuals from families with fewer tested relatives had 29% higher odds of being untested (OR: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.55–0.92). Reasons for forgoing cascade testing were: lack of provider recommendation, lack of time and interest in testing, being afraid of discrimination, and high out-of-pocket costs. Multilevel interventions designed to increase awareness about clinical implications of HBOC and LS in males, referrals from non-specialists, and support for testing multiple family members could improve the uptake of cascade testing.

The European Red List is a review of the conservation status of European species according to IUCN regional Red Listing guidelines. It identifies those species that are threatened with extinction at the regional level, so that appropriate conservation action can be taken to improve their status. This Red List publication summarises results for all hitherto described native European Orthoptera species (grasshoppers, crickets and bush-crickets). All Orthoptera species (grasshoppers, crickets and bushcrickets) native to or naturalised in Europe before AD 1500 (a total of 1,082 species), have been assessed in this Red List. The geographical scope is continent-wide, extending from Iceland in the west to the Urals in the east, and from Franz Josef Land in the north to the Canary Islands in the south. The Caucasus region is not included. Red List assessments were made at two regional levels: for geographical Europe, and for the 28 Member States of the European Union in 2016. The status of all species was assessed using the IUCN Red List Categories and Criteria (IUCN 2012a), which is the world’s most widely accepted system for measuring extinction risk. All assessments followed the Guidelines for Application of IUCN Red List Criteria at Regional and National Levels (IUCN 2012b). The assessments were compiled based on the data and knowledge from a network of leading European experts on Orthoptera. The assessments were then completed and reviewed at six workshops held in Italy, Greece, France, Bulgaria, Spain and Germany as well as through email correspondence with relevant experts. More than 145 experts participated in the assessment and review process for European Orthoptera species. Assessments are available on the European Red List website and data portal: http://ec.europa.eu/environment/nature/ conservation/species/redlist and http://www.iucnredlist. org/initiatives/europe. Overall, 25.7% and 28% of Orthoptera species are assessed as threatened at the European and EU 28 levels, respectively. However, the exact proportion of threatened species is uncertain, as there are 107 (10%) Data Deficient (DD) species in Europe and 84 DD species (8.5%) in the EU 28. Estimating that a similar relative proportion of the DD assessments are likely to be threatened (IUCN 2011), the best estimate of the threatened share of Orthoptera species is thus 28.5% in Europe and 30.6% in the EU 28. Further research on DD species to clarify their status is therefore critical. A further 13.9% (149 species) and 13% (128 species) are considered Near Threatened in Europe and in the EU 28, respectively. By comparison, the best estimate of threatened species of those other groups that have been assessed comprehensively in Europe is 58% of freshwater molluscs, 40% of freshwater fishes, 23% of amphibians, 20% of reptiles, 17% of mammals, 16% of dragonflies, 13% of birds, 9% of butterflies and bees, 8% of aquatic plants and marine fishes and 2% of medicinal plants (IUCN 2015). Additional European Red Lists assessing a selection of species showed that 22% of terrestrial molluscs, 16% of crop wild relatives and 15% of saproxylic beetles are also threatened (IUCN 2015). No other groups have yet been assessed at the European level. Looking at the population trends of European Orthoptera species, 30.2% (325 species) have declining populations, 7.6% (82 species) are believed to be more or less stable and 3.2% (34 species) are increasing. However, the population trends for the majority of species (59%, 634 species) remain unknown. Out of the 739 species that are endemic to Europe (i.e., they are found nowhere else in the world), 231 (31.3%) are threatened, highlighting the responsibility that European countries have to protect the global populations of these species. Overall, the European areas with the highest diversity of species are found in southern Europe, especially in the Mediterranean region and the Balkans. Hotspots of endemic species are found in the Iberian, the Italian and the Balkan Peninsulas, and in some large mountain areas (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians and Appenines). The greatest concentration of threatened species is found along some Mediterranean coasts and Mediterranean mountain blocks. Finally, the number of Data Deficient species reflects the general distribution of Orthoptera species, being highest in the Mediterranean and the Lower Volga region in southern European Russia. The main threat to European Orthoptera is the loss, degradation and fragmentation of their habitats as a consequence of agricultural land use intensification. This includes direct destruction by transformation of permanent grassland or shrubland habitats into cropland, degradation of habitat quality caused by overgrazing, abandonment, use of fertilisers or heavy machinery and direct mortality from frequent mowing or the use of pesticides. Other important threats to Orthoptera are the increasing frequency of wildfires, touristic development and urbanisation, climate change, afforestation and intensive forest management, drainage and river regulations, recreational activities, deforestation, limestone quarrying and sand excavations and invasive species.Orthoptera are a diverse group of insects with more than 1,000 species known to occur in Europe and play important roles in the ecosystem such as being part of the food chain and prey to many vertebrate species. They are also good indicators of land use intensity, which makes them one of the most important invertebrate groups for environmental monitoring and assessment. Conservation strategies for the European Orthoptera species with the highest extinction risk should be developed and implemented. The European Red List should be used to inform nature and biodiversity policies to improve the status of threatened species. The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) should be enhanced by promoting traditional low-intensity agricultural land use systems, particularly pastoralism in Europe, and committing to a long-term reduction in the use of pesticides and fertilisers, encouraging the uptake of alternative pest management. Orthoptera species should be made a standard group for inclusion in Environmental Impact Assessments to avoid negative impacts of new development projects on threatened species.Degraded habitats of threatened Orthoptera species throughout Europe should be restored and guidelines for the optimal management of Orthoptera habitats should be developed. The protection of Orthoptera habitats throughout Europe should be improved, so that each threatened and endemic European species is present in at least one protected area with an adequate adaptive management scheme and monitoring for threatened Orthoptera species. Orthoptera inventories in protected areas should be made mandatory to identify priority species for the respective area and develop strategies for their protection. A pan-European monitoring programme for Orthoptera species should be developed, by merging all existing recording schemes. Specific research on those species that have not been recently recorded in Europe to clarify if they may be Extinct or Regionally Extinct, or have been assessed as Data Deficient should be conducted and funding mechanisms should be put in place to support this research. The effects of the lesser understood threats (e.g., wildfires, pesticides, climate change) on Orthoptera should be studied. The European Red List of Grasshoppers, Crickets and Bush-crickets should be revised at regular intervals of ten years, and whenever new data becomes available.

Background: Germline mutation screening of BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes is performed in suspected familial breast cancer cases, but a causative mutation is found in only 30% of patients. The development of additional methods to identify good candidates for BRCA1 and BRCA2 analysis would therefore increase the efficacy of diagnostic mutation screening. With this in mind, we developed a study to determine molecular signatures of BRCA1—or BRCA2—mutated breast cancers. Materials and Methods: Array-cgh (comparative genomic hybridization) and transcriptomic analysis were performed on a series of 103 familial breast cancers. The series included 7 breast cancers with a BRCA1 mutation and 5 breast cancers with a BRCA2 mutation. The remaining 91 cases were obtained from 73 families selected on the basis of at least 3 affected first-degree relatives or at least 2 affected first-degree relatives with breast cancer at an average age of 45 years. Array-cgh analyses were performed on a 4407 BAC-array (CIT-V8) manufactured by IntegraGen. Transcriptomic analyses were performed using an Affymetrix Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 chip. Results: Using supervised clustering analyses we identified two transcriptomic signatures: one for BRCA1-mutated breast cancers consisting of 600 probe sets and another for BRCA2-mutated breast cancers also consisting of 600 probes sets. We also defined cgh-array signatures, based on the presence of specific genomic rearrangements, one for BRCA1-mutated breast cancers and one for BRCA2-mutated breast cancers. Conclusions: This study identified molecular signatures of breast cancers with BRCA1 or BRCA2 germline mutations. Genes present in these signatures could be exploited to find new markers for such breast cancers. We also identified specific genomic rearrangements in these breast cancers, which could be screened for in a diagnostic setting using fluorescence in situ hybridization, thus improving patient selection for BRCA1 and BRCA2 molecular genetic analysis.

war früher in mehreren Auengebieten der Schweiz verbreitet, so in den Tälern der Rhone, des Rheins, des Inns und des Rombaches (Münstertal GR). Diese Art ist in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten zweifellos verschwunden, die letzte bestätigte Beobachtung datiert aus dem Jahr 1989 im Pfynwald (Zettel in litt.). Die Gründe für ihr Verschwinden sind die Verbauung der Ufer, der Abbau der Kiesbänke und der Bau von Kraftwerken an den grossen Wasserläufen der Alpen. 2004 wurde die Art im Pfynwald wieder eingeführt, indem etwa dreissig Larven aus dem benachbarten Frankreich freigelassen wurden (Werner 2006). Dies scheint gelungen zu sein, denn 2005 und 2006 konnte diese Art wieder beobachtet werden. Ihr Status ist dennoch sehr besorgniserregend: Sie ist in allen Wasserläufen der Alpen vom Aussterben bedroht (Carron et al. 2001)., Published as part of Monnerat C., Thorens P., Walter T. & Gonseth Y., 2007, Rote Liste der Heuschrecken der Schweiz, pp. 1-62 in Umwelt-Vollzug 7 (19) on page 21, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.270238, {"references":["Werner P. 2006: Reintroduction de l'Oedipode des salines (Epacromius tergestinus), criquet disparu des zones alluviales de Suisse: essai sur le Rhone en cours de revitalisation (VS).

Tetrix ceperoi , deren Vorkommen in der Schweiz erst kürzlich bestätigt wurde (Baur et al. 1996), ist aus ganzen Regionen verschwunden (insbesondere aus dem Kanton Zürich) und scheint nun auf die Westschweiz beschränkt zu sein. Während sie am Südufer des Neuenburgersees (Grande Cariçaie) relativ weit verbreitet ist, kommt sie andernorts nur sehr lokal vor. Diese ausgesprochen stenöke Art besiedelt vor allem schlammige Pionierstandorte mit spärlicher Vegetation in Flachmooren, seltener (in den Kantonen Genf und Freiburg) auch natürliche Ufer einiger Fliessgewässer und/oder Kiesgruben. Der Fortbestand dieser Art ist abhängig von der Erhaltung der Feuchtgebiete und Auen sowie von der regelmässigen Erneuerung der schlammigen Pionierstandorte und der Sand- und Kiesbänke., Published as part of Monnerat C., Thorens P., Walter T. & Gonseth Y., 2007, Rote Liste der Heuschrecken der Schweiz, pp. 1-62 in Umwelt-Vollzug 7 (19) on page 24, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.270238, {"references":["Baur B., Coray A., Thorens P. 1996: Die Westliche Dornschrecke, Tetrix ceperoi (Bolivar 1887) - eine fur die Schweiz neue Heuschreckenart (Saltatoria: Tetrigidae).

Xya pfaendleri wurde ebenfalls für die Schweiz gemeldet aufgrund von zwei Exemplaren in der Sammlung Maerky im Museum Genf – diese wurden von Harz (1970) als Paratypen belegt, und ihre Identifikation durch Kurt K. Günther bestätigt. Trotzdem wurde die Art nicht beurteilt. Denn aufgrund der zahlreichen Probleme bezüglich der Herkunft der Belege in der Sammlung Maerky, sowohl bei den Heuschrecken als auch bei den anderen Insektengruppen, ist grösste Vorsicht geboten. Die Analyse der Verbreitung von X. pfaendleri unterstützt diese Entscheidung, da andere Nachweise aus dem Einzugsgebiet der Rhone fehlen (Voisin 2003, Sardet & Defaut 2004). Die westliche Verbreitungsgrenze dieser Art liegt in Österreich in der Region des Neusiedlersees (Günther 1990, Berg & Zuna-Kratky 1997).

Oedipoda germanica und Calliptamus italicus weisen in einigen Regionen der Schweiz, besonders im Wallis, noch zahlreiche und scheinbar stabile Populationen auf. In anderen Gegenden kommen sie hingegen nur vereinzelt vor, vor allem im Jura, im Mittelland und in den Nordalpen. Gemeinsam leben sie in steinigen Trockenwiesen und -weiden im Wallis, wo sie durch die Intensivierung der Landwirtschaft (vgl. oben) bedroht sind. Sie besiedeln aber auch verschiedene Pionierstandorte: Wiesen mit offenen Bodenstellen und Felsplatten, oft am Rand von Weinbergen, Steinbrüchen oder Kiesgruben. In der nördlichen Hälfte der Schweiz, wo die beiden Arten nur selten zusammen vorkommen, sind ihre oft isolierten und kleinen Populationen in mehreren Regionen am Abnehmen. Sie sind Opfer der Ausweitung der Rebberge und der Überbauung von gut exponierten Hängen., Published as part of Monnerat C., Thorens P., Walter T. & Gonseth Y., 2007, Rote Liste der Heuschrecken der Schweiz, pp. 1-62 in Umwelt-Vollzug 7 (19) on page 29, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.270238

Xya variegata wurde noch Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts aus der Gegend von Genf gemeldet (Fruhstorfer 1921). Examplare von verschiedenen Standorten und Sammlern befinden sich im Museum in Genf. Die Eindämmung der Arve und der Rhone sowie der Bau des Staudamms in Verbois (Fertigstellung 1943) veränderten den Wasserhaushalt und den Lebensraum dieser Art so stark, dass sie verschwand. Heute fehlen genügend grosse feinkörnige Sandbänke, wo sie normalerweise ihre Tunnel baut. Eine grenznahe Beobachtung von 1949 aus Hoch-Savoyen, am Ufer der Arve, ist höchstwahrscheinlich X. variegata zuzuordnen (Simonet 1949).
