摘要
Progress on determining the function of the breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene BRCA1 suggests it might be involved in two fundamental cellular processes: DNA repair and transcriptional regulation. Recent developments indicate that BRCA1 is a multifunctional protein, and disruption of its transcriptional activity could be crucial for tumor development.
