How do the BRCA genes function differently in a person with the mutation?

The BRCA genes are involved in initiating DNA repair and cell cycle check points, they as as regulators of other tumour supressors genes such as p53 and help the cell repair and damage which may lead to cancer occurring in the cell. In mutant versions of the BRCA genes they cannot perform their roles and damaged DNA may cause the cell to replicate uncontrollably as check point to prevent this has been removed. Genome stabiliy is affected and cancer can develop


Is breast cancer disease genetic communicable enviromental oe behavioral?

Breast cancer has a bit of all.The genetic cases only make up around 5% of all cases (check out BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 genes).The environment definitely impacts on it (eg. smoking).I guess behavioral falls into environmental.However, the great majority is just random, that's why it's important to get screened regularly, espacially for women over 40.

You need to speak to a certified genetics counselor.

BRCA-1 gene in place of an A nucleotide there was the nucleotide that normally pairs with cytosine C. This nucleotide is abbreviated as?

In the context of the BRCA-1 gene, if an A nucleotide is replaced with the nucleotide that normally pairs with cytosine (C), the nucleotide that is substituted is thymine (T). This is because adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T) in DNA, while cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G). Therefore, the abbreviation for thymine is T.


What is the cost for BR-CA testing?

The cost for BRCA testing can vary widely depending on several factors, including the laboratory performing the test, geographic location, and whether the patient has insurance coverage. On average, the price for BRCA testing ranges from $300 to $5,000. Many insurance plans may cover the cost if the patient meets certain criteria, such as a family history of breast or ovarian cancer. It's advisable to check with both the healthcare provider and the insurance company for specific costs and coverage details.


What percentage of breast cancer is down to a genetic fault?

5% of breast cancer is down due to a genetic fault. These genes are passed down through abnormal genes passed from parent to child. An example of this is the BRCA genes.
