Abstract

In the article there were looked some aspects of the knowledge regarding mutations in BRCA1 BRCA2 genes that have been accumulated since the first report on role of these genes in the development of breast and ovarian cancer. Most of them have practical worth related to the detection of mutations, as well as the prevention and treatment of associated ovarian cancer (the article focuses specifically on ovarian cancer, conditioned to relatively less amount of information on this pathology). There has been paid attention to the rational assignment of a genetic test on the presence of mutations in BRCA genes.
Keywords: ovarian cancer, mutations in BRCA1 BRCA2 genes, screening of the presence mutations in BRCA1 BRCA2 genes.
