Positive regulation of the BRCA1 promoter.

Abstract excerpt

Inherited mutations in the BRCA1 gene, presumably leading to loss of function, confer susceptibility to breast and ovarian neoplasms and are thought to be responsible for approximately 2.5-5% of all breast cancers. It has been suggested that alternative mechanisms, such as disruption of transcription, may also be involved in the suppression of BRCA1 gene expression/function in breast cancers. Therefore, we...
