If you have a compelling family history of breast and ovarian cancer that is not explained by a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene, it is possible that the RAD51C gene could be the explanation. An international research team demonstrated that mutations in RAD51C can lead to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer risk in a paper published online in Nature Genetics yesterday.

Researchers identify a new breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene

physorg.com — “A group of researchers report evidence unambiguously implicating the gene RAD51C in susceptibility to breast and ovarian cancer. This gene normally plays a role in DNA repair. By screening RAD51C in unrelated individuals from 1,100 German families with hereditary breast and ovarian cancers, the researchers ...View full resource at physorg.com
