Martin and Ouchi, 2005 have shown that BRCA1 interacts with X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) in an ovarian carcinoma cell line SNU-251 and that the BRCA1-XIAP complex is disrupted by UV-induced phosphorylation of BRCA1 [51]. This evidence concerns the gene BRCA1 and ovarian carcinoma.
