What is BRCA1 and BRCA2?

Women who have no family history of breast cancer and don’t carry the BRCA1 or 2 gene mutation, have only a 12% chance of getting breast cancer in their lifetime.

But, women with BRCA1 have about a 65% chance of developing it by the time they turn 70; the likelihood is a little lower for women with BRCA2 at 45%.

Now that you know how important BRCA1 & BRCA2 is and how it affects your cancer risk, what exactly is it?

Scottsdale Healthcare’s Gynecologic Oncologist Dr. Mike Janicek explains what BRCA1 & BRCA2 is in the video below.
