People inherit two copies of each gene — one from each parent — an evolutionary fail-safe to ensure survival even when one of them doesn’t function. Likely not, according to the findings of a new ...

Mutations in the BRCA1 gene that are either inherited (germline) or acquired (somatic) might not be key to the initiation of prostate cancer, as previously thought, suggests the first study of its ...

A study led by Harvard Medical School researchers shed new light on how even a single defective copy of the tumor-suppressor BRCA1 gene can increase patients’ risk of developing breast cancer.

People inherit two copies of each gene - one from each parent - an evolutionary fail-safe to ensure survival even when one of them doesn't function. For cancer-suppressor genes like BRCA1, researchers ...

Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center identified a new role for heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) in cancer predisposition and treatment resistance. Their discovery, published ...

A new study led by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) is shedding light on a novel role of breast cancer gene 1 (BRCA1) in tumor suppression.

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

The firm will evaluate the combination therapy in 80 patients with germline BRCA1/2-mutated HER2-negative locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer.
