BRCA1 alleles

BRCA1 variants implicated in susceptibility to breast-ovarian cancer


    Genetics variation at the BRCA1 locus has been implicated in susceptibility to breast and (or) ovarian cancer in humans. The table lists 35 allelic variants so implicated, sorted by type of variant: these are Deletions and Insertions of 1 ~ 40 base pairs, non-synonymous substitutions leading to replacement of amino acids, and premature Terminations.
