Description

The BRCA1 gene (breast cancer 1, early onset) [HGNC Gene ID:1100] is located on chromosome 17 at position q21, and the BRCA2 gene (breast cancer 2, early onset) [HGNC Gene ID:1101] is located on chromosome 13 at position q12.3. Inherited mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 confer increased lifetime risk of developing breast or ovarian cancer. Mutations in the BRCA1 gene are responsible for approximately 40% of inherited breast cancers and more than 80% of inherited breast and ovarian cancers. Both BRCA1 and BRCA2 are involved in maintenance of genome stability, specifically the homologous recombination pathway for double-strand DNA repair.[NCBI Gene ID:672][NCBI Gene ID:675] Source: National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Gene
