BRCA1 and BRCA2 are both tumor suppressors whose mutations are the cause of most hereditary breast cancers. Both genes are highly involved in ensuring genome stability. BRCA1 homologs are found in the plant and animal kingdoms while BRCA2 homologs are additionally found in the fungi kingdom.

BRCA1 (BReast CAncer gene 1) and BRCA2 (BReast CAncer gene 2) are genes that produce proteins that help repair damaged DNA. Everyone has two copies of each of these genes—one copy inherited from each parent.
Abstract. Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer of women all over the world. BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations comprise the most important genetic susceptibility of BC. Except for few common mutations, the spectrum of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations is heterogeneous in diverse populations. 185AGdel and 5382insC are the most important BRCA1 and BRCA2 alterations which have been encountered in ...
18 Ιουν 2020 · The breast cancer susceptibility genes known as BRCA1 and BRCA2 are specific genes found in human DNA. Everyone — men and women — inherit BRCA (an abbreviation for breast cancer, often pronounced bracka) genes from their parents.
Abstract. The proteins encoded by the two major breast cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2, work in a common pathway of genome protection. However, the two proteins work at different stages in the DNA damage response (DDR) and in DNA repair.
23 Ιουλ 2023 · Both BRCA1 and BRCA2 are thought to act as tumor suppressor genes. Over the decades, it has been shown that mutations in the BRCA genes can lead to the development of breast, ovarian, prostate and colon cancer. In excess of 100 discrete germline mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 have been identified.
Germline pathogenic variants in BRCA1/BRCA2 are associated with ovarian cancer, fallopian tube cancer, primary peritoneal cancer, male breast cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and early-onset breast cancer. BRCA1/BRCA2 -associated cancer risks are inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Prevalence of BRCA1/2 Pathogenic Variants.
