In this study, researchers aimed to determine whether younger BRCA1/2 carriers who undergo oophorectomy can receive menopausal hormone therapy without increasing their risk of breast cancer.
Mutations in the BRCA1 gene that are either inherited (germline) or acquired (somatic) might not be key to the initiation of prostate cancer, as previously thought, suggests the first study of its ...
Angelina Jolie shows mastectomy scars to spotlight breast health on TIME France. The Oscar-winning actor appears on the first ...
They are genes commonly associated with breast cancer in women, but in fact men who carry certain mutations in their BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes are at higher risk of developing certain types of cancer ...
The current testing rate for BRCA 1/2 mutations is currently 68% in HER2-negative early breast cancer, but eligible patients could receive better care if tested. The current rate of BRCA1/2 testing ...
The breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility type 1 protein (BRCA1) exists as a heterodimer with BRCA1-associated RING domain protein 1 (BARD1) and forms at least three separate macromolecular protein ...
Mutations in BRCA1 do not appear to contribute significantly to the risk of prostate cancer progression, according to DNA test results from 450 prostate cancer specimens. The findings suggest that ...
Angelina Jolie has shared her mastectomy scars in a new photoshoot.The 50-year-old actress underwent a preventative double ...
Research shows that the breast cancer gene 1 (BRCA1) not only pushes accurate DNA repair to guard against cancer but promotes subsequent activity in tumor suppression. A new study led by The ...
The BRCA1 gene is a sequence located on the long arm of chromosome 17, at position 17q21. The gene spans around 100 kilobases and codes for a tumor suppressor protein containing 1863 amino acids. This ...
Researchers report a new, previously unrecognized function of the BRCA1 gene that explains why BRCA1 gene mutation carriers are at increased risk of breast and ovarian cancer. The human body holds ...
