A study suggests that #BRIP1 might be the 3rd most common gene for inherited #ovariancancer. #BRCA mutations were found in almost 15%, while the frequency of mutations in other HRR genes were:
• #BRIP1 1.1%
• #PALB2 0.8%
• #RAD51C 0.4%
• #RAD51D 0.4%

Different #breastcancer genes🧬lead to different levels of #risk:
High risk genes (more than 4-fold risk) include #BRCA1, #BRCA2, #PALB2, #TP53, #PTEN, #CDH1
Less high risk genes (2-4 fold risk) include #CHEK2, #ATM, #BARD1, #RAD51C, #RAD51D
