Preventing hereditary cancers associated with BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations
nheritance of a BRCA1/2 defect predicts such high breast cancer risks that prevention has not been widely studied. Hereditary BRCA1/2 gene mutations can cause cancer by impairing protective...

Breast cancer genes protect against some leukemias and lymphomas
Carriers of mutations in the breast cancer genes BRCA1 or BRCA2 have very high lifetime risks for breasts/ovarian cancer. Products of either gene have multiple functions including involvement in...

The BRCA1/2 pathway prevents hematologic cancers in addition to breast and ovarian cancers
