The researchers showed that this is a result of the defect in the genes encoding the BRCA1 and BRCA2 proteins. These proteins are responsible for repairing double-strand breaks and returning the DNA to its original state, and defects in them lead to the development of various types of cancer, including breast and ovarian cancer
