A study led by Harvard Medical School researchers shed new light on how even a single defective copy of the tumor-suppressor BRCA1 gene can increase patients’ risk of developing breast cancer.

For cancer-suppressor genes like BRCA1, researchers have long hypothesized that a single healthy copy could still guard against tumor development. Yet women with one harmful BRCA1 mutation are far ...

The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes protect against breast and ovarian cancer, and a mutation of either gene increases the risk of developing cancer. An estimated 1 in 350 women have aBRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation.

More and more studies show that men face risks of cancer from BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic mutations that are most often associated with breast and ovarian cancers in women. "Not enough men are getting ...

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 ...

On International Day of Action for Women's Health, we delve into the profound impact of genetic testing on understanding breast cancer, with a particular focus on BRCA1 (Breast Cancer Gene 1 ...

If a male inherits the BRCA1 gene, what should his medical concerns be? -- B.D. ANSWER: Men with the BRCA1 gene (mutations in this gene predispose patients to several types of cancers) are at high ...
