Description

BRCA1 is crucial in cellular responses to DNA damage and may also be a transcriptional regulator. It interacts with WRN [1825]. Mutations in BRCA1 result in embryonic lethality in mice and humans. Mice hypomorphic for BRCA1 and heterozygous for TP53 have slower growth rates and display signs of premature ageing starting at about 8 months of age [37]. Loss or haploid loss of CHEK2 also enables mice lacking BRCA1 to avoid embryonic lethality and display signs of premature ageing at about 18 months of age and develop multiple tumours later in life [1838]. In humans, some evidence suggests differences in BRCA1 genotype frequencies between centenarians and controls [416]. BRCA1's role in cancer in humans is undisputed [396], and it is possible it also plays a role in ageing.
