About 0.25% of the population carry mutated BRCA1 or BRCA2 #genes.
A BRCA mutation occurs when the DNA that makes up the gene becomes damaged in some way.
When a BRCA gene is mutated, it may no longer be effective at repairing broken #DNA and helping to prevent breast cancer.
Mutations in either the breast cancer gene (BRCA1 or BRCA2) significantly increase the risk of:
• Breast cancer
• Male breast cancer
• Ovarian cancer
• Prostate cancer
• Pancreatic cancer
• Melanoma
