Research Notes on BRCA2

BRCA2 (breast cancer 2, early onset) is a gene in a class known as tumor suppressors. Variations in this gene -- called SNPs -- have been found to correlate with an increased risk of breast cancer and other cancers, particularly ovarian cancer in women and prostate cancer in men.

Fast Facts:

  • Women with a family history of breast cancer have the option of having a BRCA Test that checks for variations in the genetic structure that can predispose them to breast cancer.
  • BRCA1 and BRCA2 were the first breast cancer genes to be identified.
  • Breast cancer genes can be passed from either mother or father.
