   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRCA_mutation

   Women with harmful mutations in either BRCA1 or BRCA2 have a risk of breast cancer that is about five times the normal risk, and a risk of ovarian cancer that is about ten to thirty times normal. [3] The risk of breast and ovarian cancer is higher for women with a high-risk BRCA1 mutation than with a BRCA2 mutation. Having a high-risk mutation ...

3. BRCA1 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRCA1

   Only about 3%–8% of all women with breast cancer carry a mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2. [70] Similarly, BRCA1 mutations are only seen in about 18% of ovarian cancers (13% germline mutations and 5% somatic mutations). [71] Thus, while BRCA1 expression is low in the majority of these cancers, BRCA1 mutation is not a major cause of reduced ...

4. BRCA2 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BRCA2

   Researchers have identified hundreds of mutations in the BRCA2 gene, many of which cause an increased risk of cancer.

   The lifetime risk of a female developing breast and/or ovarian cancer increases if she inherits a harmful mutation of BRCA1 or BRCA2, but the severity depends on the type of mutation. [8] Each year, about 3% of breast cancers and 10% of ovarian cancers result from inherited mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. [9]
