BRCA1

CRISPR stands for Clustered Regularly Interspace Short Palindromic Repeats. What CRISPR does is basically cut out a specific part of a genome and replace it with a corrected form. It is able to do this because of two important components. There is the guide molecule and the Cas enzyme. The guide molecule is responsible for taking the Cas enzyme to the piece of DNA sequence that will be edited. The Cas enzyme is responsible for breaking down a segment of the DNA sequence. The cell then has…

are many genetic and environmental factors as well as random factors that may lead to the development of stomach cancer. Genetics plays a role in the development of stomach cancer. “People who carry mutations of the inherited breast cancer genes BRCA1 or BRCA2 may also have a higher rate of stomach cancer” (cancer.org). In a healthy person, the BRCA genes are responsible for repairing DNA. However, if the BRCA genes are mutated they are…

Angelina has this operation done after discovering she has the BRCA1 gene mutation which significantly increases the risk of breast and ovarian cancer. Angelina Jolie has not only encouraged others to get tested for the BRCA1 gene and saved life’s by doing so, however she has also shown women all around the world not to be afraid of getting tested and that there is strategies you can put in place…

Introduction Nucleotide is a building block for deoxyribose nucleic acids which is called DNA that has four base units,adenin(A) ,thymine(T) ,guanine(G), cytosine(C). The nucleotides can bond with their base pairs(A=T,G=C) to form a linear strand that is supported by sugar-phosphate backbone. In the linear strand, some of three base sequence is a codon and each codon is related to an amino acid. These codons come together in a linear sequence and create a gene. Gene can be called as cipher that…

Breast cancer I remember one morning, getting ready for work I realized I had a small lump on my left breast. I didn’t feel pain but I could see a lump. The whole day at work I thought about it, I told my husband and he thought I should go see the doctor.

Ovarian cancer is cancer that begins in the ovaries, affecting only women. It is the sixth common tumor among women. However, it is the second deadliest cancer, behind breast cancer, among women above age 40. Each year,there are 100,000 diagnosed cases. It has been scientifically known for 150 years. Ovary cancer comes in four stages with one being more lethal than the other. Ovarian cancer affects the body by developing a tumor in one or both ovaries. This is referred to as Stage 1. Those tumor…

According to the most recent estimates, 55 to 65 percent of women who inherit a harmful brca1 mutation and around 45 percent of women who inherit a harmful brca2 mutation will develop breast cancer in their 70s. These genes are the best known link to cancer, and can either be passed down by parents, family, or developed over time in your body. A person who has this gene can be called a brca1/2 carrier. Your risk of developing cancer increases dramatically from these genes. This belongs to…

Breast cancer is a disease where a certain cell in the breast are abnormal they divide uncontrollably everyone has BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes, BRCA is supposed to repair cell damage and keep breast, ovarian and other cell growing normal. When these genes contain mutation that are passed on from generation to generation. “The genes don’t function normal and breast, ovarian…

Breast Cancer is the disease cause by an uncontrollable amount of non-normal cells that surrounds tissue or areas of the body that originate in cells in the breast. Above all cancer is a very deadly disease, although some have cures, some don’t. Every single day one hundred and eight american women pass away from breast cancer.
