Entrez Gene summary for BRCA2:

Inherited mutations in BRCA1 and this gene, BRCA2, confer increased lifetime risk of developing breast or ovarian

cancer. Both BRCA1 and BRCA2 are involved in maintenance of genome stability, specifically the homologous

recombination pathway for double-strand DNA repair. The BRCA2 protein contains several copies of a 70 aa motif called

the BRC motif, and these motifs mediate binding to the RAD51 recombinase which functions in DNA repair. BRCA2 is

considered a tumor suppressor gene, as tumors with BRCA2 mutations generally exhibit loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of

the wild-type allele. (provided by RefSeq)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: BRCA2_HUMAN, P51587

Function: Involved in double-strand break repair and/or homologous recombination. May participate in S phase checkpoint

activation

Defects in BRCA2 are a cause of genetic susceptibility to breast cancer (BC) [MIM:612555, 114480]; also called

susceptibility to familial breast-ovarian cancer type 2 (BROVCA2). BC is an extremely common malignancy, affecting one

in eight women during their lifetime. A positive family history has been identified as major contributor to risk of

development of the disease, and this link is striking for early-onset breast cancer. Mutations in BRCA2 are thought to

be responsible for some inherited breast cancer. It is linked with male breast cancer

Defects in BRCA2 are the cause of Fanconi anemia complementation group D type 1 (FANCD1) [MIM:605724]. Fanconi

anemia (FA) [MIM:227650] is an autosomal recessive disorder affecting all bone marrow elements and associated with

cardiac, renal and limb malformations as well as dermal pigmentary changes
