Ovarian Cancer Risk Found for Normal Tissue BRCA1 Methylation

As we know, germline mutations within some specific genes are already known to be capable of causing certain types of inherited cancers. As a result, those who possess these mutations in breast cancer Type I and II genes, referred to as BRCA1 and BRCA2, have a significantly higher chance of getting breast cancer; however, it isn't only that. Ovarian cancer can be an added threat to them as well. This is because gene mutations and aberrant regulation of genes are commonly associated with cancer.
