Microcephalin 1 (MCPH1) has a crucial role in the DNA damage response by promoting the expression of checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1) and breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1).

We analyzed the effect of both protein expression and MCPH1 polymorphisms in breast cancer patients. Low nuclear expression of...
