## Abstract Mutations of BRCA1 gene are associated with more than half the cases of hereditary breast cancer. Breast cancer formation in BRCA1 mutation carriers is generally accompanied by loss of the wildβtype allele, suggesting that BRCA1 protein may function as a tumor suppressor. The human BRCA
BRCA1 was the first breast cancer susceptibility gene to be identified and cloned. In individuals from high-risk families, mutations in BRCA1 increase the lifetime risk of developing breast cancer eight to tenfold, compared to the general population. How the BRCA1 protein product normally functions
