Abstract

In Feb 2021, World Health Organization (WHO) announced that breast cancer overtook lung cancer as the #1 cancer in the world. With over 2 million new cases and over 600,000 deaths in 2020, breast cancer is the most common cancer of women worldwide. About 10% of the breast cancer is familial (or hereditary), caused by mutations of Breast Cancer Susceptibility gene 1, commonly known as BRCA1. Located in chromosome 17, this gene has multiple functions, interactions, pathways and direct and indirect binding partners, contributing to the various hall marks of cancer, including cell cycle and other. It interacts with several genes and proteins and these interactions are studied using String diagrams. The goal is to obtain better insights of the various key aspects of these interactions and utilize them towards novel breast cancer therapies for familial breast cancer treatments.
