Scientists with the Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute at UT Health San Antonio have discovered a surprising connection between a breast cancer protein, BRCA1, and pediatric cancer called Ewing sarcoma. Their findings, reported March 7 in the journal Nature, reveal a completely new mechanism by which BRCA1 can be rendered dysfunctional. “The observations raise many new […]

A mutant oncogene in Ewing traps BRCA1 and prevents it from repairing genetic damage. Scientists with the Greehey Children’s Cancer Research Institute at UT Health San Antonio have discovered a surprising connection between a breast cancer protein, BRCA1, and a pediatric cancer called Ewing sarcoma. Their findings, reported March 7 in the journal Nature, reveal a completely new mechanism […]
