developing breast cancer is approximately 12 percent‚ but there are certain BRCA mutations that increase the risk for women to 50-80 percent. For ovarian cancer a BRCA mutation means that a woman goes from a 1.4 percent risk to a 40-60 percent jump. What are BCRA1 and BCRA 2 mutations? The term BRCA itself stands for breast cancer susceptibility. BRCA1 and BRCA2 belong to a class of human genes that suppress tumors. If these genes mutate‚ then one is considered as having a hereditary risk of breast and
