Role of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in BRCA1 and BRCA2 Genes Relative to Previous Studies in Pakistan in the Prognosis of Breast Cancer

Breast cancer is a complex disease characterized by a myriad of genetic alterations. Single nucleotide polymorphisms are particularly relevant due to small allelic variations. BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are notably associated with inherited breast and ovarian cancers. Alterations in other genes were al...

description Breast cancer is a complex disease characterized by a myriad of genetic alterations. Single nucleotide polymorphisms are particularly relevant due to small allelic variations. BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are notably associated with inherited breast and ovarian cancers. Alterations in other genes were also identified. Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 tumor suppressor genes play a significant role in development. Studies in the Pakistani population revealed significant differences in gene mutations. In 31 families, 8 had male and 23 had female breast cancer, substantial findings were observed. The analysis encompassed full coding sites of these genetic variations. Among eight families with male BC, changes were detected in 2 BRCA1 and 4 BRCA2 genes. Additionally, eight alterations were noted in 23 females from site-specific families, with 4 in BRCA1 and 4 in BRCA2. These findings underscore the importance of genetic variations, especially in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, in the context of breast cancer susceptibility within diverse populations.
