When the BRCA1 gene is damaged, then the DNA is not repaired appropriately and this enhances the risk for cancer.

The probe system was used for detection of WT and SNP alleles of human BRCAI [(170-190, G---~T) and (290-310, G---~T)]. The Cy5 dye attached to a probe oligonucleotide (10-mer) undergoes a fluorescence intensity change on hybridisation of the probe to the WT compared to MT targets.
