What are BRCA1 and BRCA2 Genes?

BRCA1 (Breast Cancer 1) and BRCA2 (Breast Cancer 2) are human genes that produce proteins responsible for repairing damaged DNA. These genes play a crucial role in maintaining the genetic stability of cells. When either of these genes is mutated, the DNA damage may not be properly repaired, increasing the risk of cancer.
