The chromosomal location of BRCA1 was discovered by Mary-Claire King's team at UC Berkeley in 1990. [21] After an international race to refine the precise location of BRCA1, [22] the gene was cloned in 1994 by scientists at University of Utah, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and Myriad Genetics.
BRCA-related breast cancer appears at an earlier age than sporadic breast cancer. [9]: 89–111 It has been asserted that BRCA-related breast cancer is more aggressive than normal breast cancer, however most studies in specific populations suggest little or no difference in survival rates despite seemingly worse prognostic factors. [11] [12] [13]
The BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are centrally involved in HR, DNAdamage repair, end resection, and checkpoint signaling. Mutational signatures of HRD have been identified in over 20% of breast cancers, as well as pancreatic, ovarian, and gastric cancers. BRCA1/2 mutations confer sensitivity to platinum-based chemotherapies.
BRE, the protein product of the BRE (gene), is a core component of the deubiquitin complex BRCA1-A. [8] Other core components of the BRCA1-A complex are the BRCC36 protein (BRCC3 gene), MERIT40 protein (BABAM1 gene), and RAP80 protein (UIMC1 gene). [8]

The BRCT domain is found predominantly in proteins involved in cell cycle checkpoint functions responsive to DNA damage, [2] for example as found in the breast cancer DNA-repair protein BRCA1. The domain is an approximately 100 amino acid tandem repeat , which appears to act as a phospho-protein binding domain.
Checkpoint-control proteins that trigger cell cycle arrest in response to DNA damage or chromosomal defects (e.g., breast cancer type 1 susceptibility protein (BRCA1), p16, and p14). [15] Proteins that induce apoptosis. If damage cannot be repaired, the cell initiates programmed cell death to remove the threat it poses to the organism as a whole.
BRCA1-associated RING domain protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BARD1 gene. [ 5 ] [ 6 ] [ 7 ] The human BARD1 protein is 777 amino acids long and contains a RING finger domain (residues 46-90), four ankyrin repeats (residues 420-555), and a tandem BRCT domain (residues 568-777).
