A GENETIC STUDY IS PERFORMED WHERE MUTATIONS ARE DETECTED IN GEN 1 (BRCA-1) AND GEN 2 (BRCA-2), THIS TYPE OF MUTATIONS IS ASSOCIATED WITH WHAT TYPE OF CANCER?

1.- COLON CANCER

2.- SKIN CANCER

3.- CERVICAL CANCER

4.- BILATERAL BREAST CANCER

5. GASTRIC CANCER

Answer 1

Answer for the above question.

A genetic study performed where mutations are detected in gen 1 (brca-1) and gen 2 (brca-2), this type of mutations is associated with

Answer: 4) Bilateral breast cancer

Explanation:

The type of mutation gen 1 (BRCA-1) and gen 2 (BRCA -2 ) are mainly detected in bilateral breast cancer, this type of mutation will increase the risk of breast cancer in women. It is mainly used to detect the type of cancer the patient suffering from. For detecting the breast cancer the Gen type BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 are used. so this option is selected.

The remaining options are not selected because in colon cancer the presence of mutation genes are MSH2 and MSH6, for the skin cancer the presence of mutation genes are BRAF and CDKN2A, In the cervical cancer the presence of mutation genes are MED1 and CASP8 and in Gastric cancer the presence of mutation genes are TP53. so this options are not applied
