Glossary BRCA1

gene involved in DNA repair, linked to cancer risk

BRCA1 is a gene that produces a protein responsible for repairing damaged DNA, playing a crucial role in maintaining the genetic stability of cells. Mutations in the BRCA1 gene can lead to a significantly increased risk of developing breast and ovarian cancers, as the defective protein fails to properly repair DNA, allowing genetic mutations to accumulate.
