BRCA1: the enigma of tissue-specific tumor development.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Jun 2003

Monteiro Alvaro N A

Abstract excerpt

Recent evidence indicates that BRCA1, a gene product associated with breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility, is an important component of the cellular response to DNA damage. Despite being expressed ubiquitously in adult tissues, germline mutations in BRCA1 predispose individuals to breast and...
