How are the BRCA proteins and their genes implicated in breast cancer?

#SCPH28 | Zoology
  1. The BRCA proteins damage DNA by generating double-stranded breaks which can lead to cancer.

  2. Cells become more susceptible to damage if the genes for these proteins are damaged.

  3. BRCA proteins inhibit excision repair mechanisms.

  4. BRCA proteins initiate recombination between non-homologous DNA sequences.

Parents that are homozygous for different mutations a, b and c are crossed, producing offspring that are heterozygous as following

aa X bb        =  ab  (X)          

 bb X cc         =  bc  (Y)

aa X cc          =   ac  (Z)

If a and b belong to same locus but b and c belong to different locus then phenotype of heterozygote

Four different mutant lines showing similar phenotype were identified from a genetic screen. When genetic crosses among these mutants were carried out, the first mutant was found to complement the second, third and fourth mutant lines. However, no other complementation groups do the four mutant lines belongs to?
