BRIP1 (BRCA1 interacting helicase 1), also known as FANCJ (as the gene mutated in the J complementation group of Fanconi anemia) or BACH1 (BRCA1-associated C-terminal helicase), was first discovered in 2001 by its interaction with BRCA1 [2]. The gene discussed is BRCA1; the disease is Fanconi anemia.
