Sara Hounguè, Terence Totah, Sophia George, Jean-Léon Olory-Togbé and Callinice D. Capo-chichi. BRCA1 Protein Deficiency in Breast Cancer Microbiopsy Lysate Delineates Patient Survival Time. Journal of Cancer Research and Treatment. 2021; 9(1):1-11. doi: 10.12691/jcrt-9-1-1
Abstract: Introduction: Breast-Cancer gene 1(BRCA1) encodes for protein which has many cellular functions including DNA damage repair and maintenance of genome integrity. Malfunction or deficiency of BRCA1 protein, due to mutations or epigenetic inactivation, may provoke breast epithelial cell dedifferentiation and... Read More
