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 2 has the cytogenetic location 13q12.3 or the q arm of Chromosome 13 at position 12.3. Both genes produce proteins that help repair damaged DNA, keeping the genetic material of the cell stable. A damaged BRCA gene in either location can lead to increased risk of cancer, particularly breast or ovarian in women.
The BRCA2 gene is located on the long (q) arm of chromosome 13 at position 12.3 (13q12.3). [16] The human reference BRCA2 gene contains 27 exons, and the cDNA has 10,254 base pairs [17] coding for a protein of 3418 amino acids. [18] [19]

Mary-Claire King (born February 27, 1946) [1] is an American geneticist.She was the first to show that breast cancer can be inherited due to mutations in the gene she called BRCA1.
