The BRCA genes produce DNA repair proteins. Genetic testing is available that can determine if a person has a mutation in the BRCA genes that makes the proteins less able to function. What is the result of a BRCA mutation? O A. The person is more likely to develop cancer if other DNA in the cell mutates. O B. The person is less likely to develop cancer unless the BRCA region is methylated. O C. The person is less likely to develop cancer because the BCA gene will inhibit the cell cycle checkpoints. O D. The person is more likely to develop cancer because the BRCA gene promotes an increased rate for mitosis.
