Hi, I am trying to help my sister as much as I can, considering the condition she suffers from. She has been diagnosed with the breast cancer but luckily it was discovered in its early phase. Doctor said that she has the BRCA gene mutation and I would like to know how dangerous that can be for a woman. I never heard of that gene before…

It is one of the genes responsible for the suppression of the tumor occurrence. This means that any problem with this gene (mutation) might lead to the tumor happening. Well, the good thing is that there is still a lot of time for a proper medical intervention so I am sure that your sister will be fine in a while. Just in case, you should start with the self examination too.
