BRCA1 Cancer Research Results

BRCA1, BReast CAncer gene 1: Click to Expand ⟱
Source: CGL-Driver Genes
Type: TSG
BRCA1 and BRCA2 are tumor suppressor genes, which, when they function normally, keep tumors from forming.
BRCA1 mutations are associated with an increased risk for:
Breast cancer, including an aggressive form called Triple Negative Breast Cancer
Ovarian cancer
Pancreatic cancer
Prostate cancer
BRCA1/BRCA2 are used as clinical biomarker for PARP inhibitor use.
