People inherit two copies of each gene — one from each parent — an evolutionary fail-safe to ensure survival even when one of them doesn’t function. Likely not, according to the findings of a new ...

Mutations in BRCA1 do not appear to contribute significantly to the risk of prostate cancer progression, according to DNA test results from 450 prostate cancer specimens. The findings suggest that ...

A study led by Harvard Medical School researchers shed new light on how even a single defective copy of the tumor-suppressor BRCA1 gene can increase patients’ risk of developing breast cancer.

Error-prone DNA replication and repair may lead to mutations and cancer in individuals who inherit a mutant copy of the BRCA1 gene, according to a new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators.

In women with BRCA1 mutations, hormonal contraceptives were associated with a significantly higher risk for breast cancer in a dose-response relationship, researchers reported in an observational ...
