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.

BRCA1 is a pleiotropic DDR protein that functions in both checkpoint activation and DNA repair, whereas BRCA2 is a mediator of the core mechanism of homologous recombination.
BRCA1 and BRCA2 are genes involved in DNA repair. Constitutional (germline) pathogenic variants in these genes are associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, as well as other cancers.
7 Νοε 2013 · 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 most of the populations.
12 Αυγ 2016 · BRCA1 and BRCA2 are tumour-suppressor genes encoding proteins that are essential for the repair of DNA double-strand breaks by homologous recombination (HR). Cells that lack either BRCA1 or...
BRCA1 is a human tumor suppressor gene [7][8] (also known as a caretaker gene) and is responsible for repairing DNA. [9] BRCA1 and BRCA2 are unrelated proteins, [10] but both are normally expressed in the cells of breast and other tissue, where they help repair damaged DNA, or destroy cells if DNA cannot be repaired.
1 Ιαν 2009 · BRCA1 and BRCA2 are highly penetrant breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility genes that are mutated in a significant proportion of familial breast and ovarian cancer syndromes. Both of these genes are tumour suppressors, the products of which play vital roles in the cellular response to DNA damage.
