Genetics of Breast Cancer Updated
... There are more than 800 mutations in the BRCA2 gene (Many associated with increased risk of breast cancer). Many BRCA2 mutations insert or delete a small number of nucleotides in the gene, disrupting protein production This results in an abnormally small, nonfunctional version of the BRCA2 protein. ...
