It is well established that many important molecular biomarkers of cancer, such as BRCA1 DNA repair associated (BRCA1), BRCA2, TP53, phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), and erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (ERBB2), are linked to autophagy and apoptosis [179]. The gene discussed is BRCA1; the disease is cancer.
