BRCA1
HGNC ↗42 article(s) in the watch · Constitutional genetics · Cancer genetics
BRCA1 is a tumour-suppressor gene involved in DNA repair by homologous recombination. Pathogenic variants confer a high risk of breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC syndrome) and an increased risk of prostate and pancreatic cancer.
