BRCA2

One of these debates took place on the patent licensed to Myriad Genetics Incorporation related to BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation genes. Myriad’s patent and the benefits provided to the inventor failed utilitarian moral principals and considered immoral. Based on the basic utilitarian moral principals (Jeremy Bentham 1748-1832 and John Stuart Mill 1808-1873), acts that…

mutated in hereditary breast cancer? Approximately 5% to 10% of breast cancers are hereditary. They result directly from gene defects (called mutations) inherited from a parent. The most commonly mutated in hereditary breast cancer are BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. 3. How does a woman’s weight influence her breast…

The genetic counselling services can provide both advice and relevant information about specific genetic conditions. Genetic counselling works by looking at the likelihood of certain genetic disorders and genes being passed through to offspring and comparing the crossover of the parent’s genes and alleles and the potential risk of the child developing a genetic disorder. This allows the healthcare professional to identify any potential risks, meaning they are able to investigate and evaluate and…

gynecological cancer can be transmitted genetically. Therefore, you should have regular check-ups to reduce the risk of breast cancer. • Changes in genes, gene changes will increase the risk factor for breast cancer. Changes in the genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 cause gynecological cancer. • Lack of physical activity: Yes, lack of physical activity increases the chances of breast cancer in women because of the excess weight fat dairy lymph nodes. It should participate in regular training sessions to…

According to the American Cancer Society the current guidelines for breast screening are that women over the age of 40 should get a yearly mammogram. A clinical breast exam should be done every three years for women over the age of 20. Because breast screening is just a recommendation not all organizations recommend the same thing. For example, The U.S Preventive Services Task Force says that screening does not need to begin until age 50 and instead of every year, mammograms only need to be…

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…

women. An oophorectomy may be considered after the age of 35 if childbearing is finished, for women at increased risk. A woman's risk of developing ovarian cancer include age (occurring after menopause), the manifestation of a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene, the amount of menstrual periods a woman has had (affected by age, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and oral contraceptive use), history of breast cancer, diet, and family history. The rate of ovarian cancer is highest among American Indian…

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, and other…
