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.
Inheriting one BRCA1 mutation and one BRCA2 mutation has been reported occasionally; the child's risk for any given type of cancer is the higher risk of the two genes (e.g., the ovarian cancer risk from BRCA1 and the pancreatic cancer risk from BRCA2). Inheriting two BRCA2 mutations produces Fanconi anemia. [9]: 82–85
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.

ATM activates (phosphorylates) CHEK2 and FANCD2 [27] CHEK2 phosphorylates BRCA1. [28] Ubiquinated FANCD2 complexes with BRCA1 and RAD51 . [ 29 ] The PALB2 protein acts as a hub, [ 30 ] bringing together BRCA1, BRCA2 and RAD51 at the site of a DNA double-strand break, and also binds to RAD51C, a member of the RAD51 paralog complex RAD51B ...
People with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations are recommended to have a transvaginal ultrasound 1-2 times per year. Screening with CA-125 is also recommended.. Prophylactic salpingo-oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries and fallopian tubes to prevent cancer) is recommended at age 35-40 for people with BRCA1 mutations and at age 40-45 for people with BRCA2 mutations.

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]
