BRCA-1 and BRCA-2(Breast Cancer Gene 1 and Breast Cancer Gene 2)

BRCA-1 and BRCA-2 are two tumor suppressor genes . Normally, these genes help prevent cancer by producing proteins that suppress abnormal cell growth. Certain changes (mutation) in these genes are linked mainly with hereditary breast and ovarian cacers .

According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), about 200,000 women are diagnosed with invasive breast cancer each year and about 20,000 with ovarian cancer. Of these cancers, about 5% to 10% will be due to a harmful mutation in BRCA-1 or BRCA-2 genes. Men can also inherit an increased risk of developing breast cancer, occasionally from mutations in BRCA-1, but primarily from mutations in the BRCA-2 gene

The test used to
To assess the risk of developing breast orovarian cancer associated with inheriting mutations in the BRCA-1 or BRCA-2 genes
