BRCA2kantajilla
BRCA2kantajilla is a rare genetic disorder characterized by the presence of multiple copies of the BRCA2 gene, typically due to a specific type of DNA rearrangement known as a tandem duplication. This condition is associated with an increased risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer, as well as other types of cancer. The BRCA2 gene is one of the two major breast cancer susceptibility genes, and its normal function is to repair DNA damage and prevent the accumulation of mutations that can lead to cancer.
The term "BRCA2kantajilla" is derived from the Finnish language, where "BRCA2" refers to the gene and "kantajilla"
Individuals with BRCA2kantajilla may undergo genetic counseling and screening to monitor their cancer risk and detect
