BRCA1


BRCA1

A gene on chromosome 17q21, which encodes a protein that plays a role in maintaining genomic stability and acts as a tumour suppressor. It combines with other tumour suppressors, DNA damage sensors and signal transducers to form a large multi-subunit-protein complex known as the BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC), which associates with RNA polymerase II and histone deacetylase complexes, thus playing a role in transcription, DNA repair of double-stranded breaks and recombination. BRCA1 mutations cause 40% of inherited breast cancers and over 80% of inherited breast and ovarian cancers.
