Potential relevance to longevity and/or ageing

Observations
Deletion causes senescence in mutant embryos and cultured cells and tumorigenesis and signs of premature ageing in adult mice.

Genetic Manipulation
Deletion

    Observations
    Brca1 heterozygotes appear to have a shortened life span with 70% tumor incidence. Lymphoma, but not ovarian and mammary gland tumors, occurs commonly in these mice. After a whole-body exposure to ionizing radiation, Brca1 heterozygous mice have a 3-5-fold higher incidence specific to ovarian tumors, but not lymphoma, when compared with the Brca1+/+ mice.
