BRCA1/2 genes are considered tumor suppressor genes and help repair damaged DNA. Pathogenic germline mutations of BRCA1/2 genes are the most common hereditary cause of breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

Rapid screening by Surveyor Nuclease-based mutation detection for BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes
Twenty-three percent of first diagnosed breast cancer patients resulted to be candidate for BRCA genetic test and, among these, BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations occur in almost 20% patients. BRCA testing is complicated by the large gene region and the extent of

Systematic screening reveals a role for BRCA1 in the response to transcription-associated DNA damage
BRCA1 is a breast and ovarian tumor suppressor. Given its numerous incompletely understood functions and the possibility that more exist, we performed complementary systematic screens in search of new BRCA1 protein-interacting partners.
