BRCA1 carriers have a slightly higher risk of developing breast cancer than BRCA2 carriers.
BRCA1 mutations are more often linked to triple negative breast cancer, which is more aggressive and harder to treat than other types of breast cancer. This gene help make proteins that repair damaged DNA. Mutated versions of these genes can lead to abnormal cell growth, which can lead to cancer.
