products description : 
The breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) gene was isolated in 1994. Mutations of the gene, a tumor suppressor, are associated with an increased risk for breast, ovarian, and prostate cancers. (1) Point mutations in critical domains and frameshift mutations that lead to early termination of protein translation are associated with a 60-80% risk of breast cancer and a 20-40% risk of ovarian cancer in some studies. (2) BRCA1 is highly polymorphic with more than 1,200 distinct documented variants. Approximately 70% of reported variants lead to absence of full-length BRCA1 protein and are suspected to predispose to cancer. (3) BRCA1 contains several functional domains that directly or indirectly interact with a variety of proteins via protein-protein interaction; these include tumor suppressors (BRCA2, p53, Rb and ATM), oncogenes (c-Myc, casein kinase II and E2F), DNA damage repair proteins (RAD50 and RAD51), cell cycle regulators (cyclins and cyclin dependent kinases), transcriptional activators and repressors (RNA polymerase II, RHA, histone deacetylase complex and CtIP), DNA damage-sensing complex and mismatch repair proteins (BRCA1- Associated Surveillance Complex; BASC) and signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT). BRCA1 plays a significant role in maintaining genomic stability and serves as a tumor suppressor in breast cancer tumorigenesis. (4)

ncbi summary : 
This gene encodes a nuclear phosphoprotein that plays a role in maintaining genomic stability, and it also acts as a tumor suppressor. The encoded protein combines with other tumor suppressors, DNA damage sensors, and signal transducers to form a large multi-subunit protein complex known as the BRCA1-associated genome surveillance complex (BASC). This gene product associates with RNA polymerase II, and through the C-terminal domain, also interacts with histone deacetylase complexes. This protein thus plays a role in transcription, DNA repair of double-stranded breaks, and recombination. Mutations in this gene are responsible for approximately 40% of inherited breast cancers and more than 80% of inherited breast and ovarian cancers. Alternative splicing plays a role in modulating the subcellular localization and physiological function of this gene. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants, some of which are disease-associated mutations, have been described for this gene, but the full-length natures of only some of these variants has been described. A related pseudogene, which is also located on chromosome 17, has been identified. [provided by RefSeq, May 2009]
