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.

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.
< Prev Next > Functional Interactions Between BRCA1 and the Cell Cycle. Timothy K. MacLachlan and Wafik El-Deiry. Go to: Introduction. The onset of breast cancer in women is one of the most devastating diseases known today, afflicting approximately one in nine women in Western countries.
6 Αυγ 2024 · BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations can occur at any location within the gene structure. It has been discovered that these genes possess a range of mutations that can increase susceptibility to BC and OC to different extents.
9 Οκτ 2024 · BRCA1 functions in several crucial cellular pathways that preserve genome stability, including DNA-damage-induced cell-cycle checkpoint activation, DNA-damage repair, chromatin remodeling, transcriptional regulation, and apoptosis, and its mutation is linked to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome (HBOC). 32 According to the AACR ...
25 Ιαν 2002 · Inherited mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2 predispose to breast, ovarian, and other cancers. Their ubiquitously expressed protein products are implicated in processes fundamental to all cells, including DNA repair and recombination, checkpoint control of cell cycle, and transcription.
23 Μαΐ 2024 · Two well-described tumour-suppressor genes involved in genome maintenance are BRCA1 and BRCA2. Mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are prevalent in hereditary forms of breast, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancer [2–5], but also occur in about 5% of sporadic tumours [6–9].
