can brca gene be passed from mother to son?

BRCA mutations can be a family matter If 1 parent has a BRCA mutation, all of his or her children have a 50% chance of inheriting that mutation. Even if a child inherits only 1 mutated BRCA gene, that person's risk of developing cancer increases.

Yes it is possible if son amd mother having a sexual life and son inserted her sperm in his mother vagina then his mother gets pregnant by him. It is possible and i have seen a lot of cases where mother get pregnant by son, it only happens if they don't use condoms and any other precautions.

Everyone has BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Some people have an inherited mutation in one or both of these genes that increases the risk of breast cancer. BRCA1/2 mutations can be passed to you from either parent and can affect the risk of cancers in both women and men.

A couple are both phenotypically normal, but their son suffers from hemophilia, a sex-linked recessive disorder. ... Since the mother is a carrier, half of her X chromosomes will have the hemophilia gene and the other half will be normal. Therefore half of their sons are likely to have hemophilia.

In other words, sons and daughter are pretty much always 50% related to mom and 50% to dad. But this is where the exact percentages end. Other kinds of relatives share on average around the same amount of DNA. So siblings share around 50% of their DNA, half-siblings around 25% and so on.

If a male who has an X-linked condition has a daughter, he will always pass on the changed gene to her. This is because males only have one X chromosome and they always pass this on to their daughters. All his daughters will therefore be carriers.

A man passes on his Y chromosome to all of his sons and his X chromosome to all of his daughters. Therefore, the sons of a man with an X-linked dominant disorder will not be affected, but all of his daughters will inherit the condition. A woman passes on one or the other of her X chromosomes to each child.

Yes, the genes for ADPKD are dominant, which means that inheriting only one mutated copy of the PKD1 or PKD2 gene from an affected parent is sufficient to cause the disease. There is no carrier state with a dominant disease, and it does not skip a generation.

Paternal genes have been found to be more dominant than the maternal ones. Genes from your father are more dominant than those inherited from your mother, new research has shown.

Like chromosomes, genes also come in pairs. Each of your parents has two copies of each of their genes, and each parent passes along just one copy to make up the genes you have. Genes that are passed on to you determine many of your traits, such as your hair color and skin color.

The risk for passing down a genetic disease is much higher for siblings than first cousins. To be more specific, two siblings who have kids together have a higher chance of passing on a recessive disease to their kids.

Mutated BRCA genes can be inherited from mother, father, or both parents. Women with a mutation in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene have a higher risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

A harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation can be inherited from a person's mother or father. Each child of a parent who carries a mutation in one of these genes has a 50% chance (or 1 chance in 2) of inheriting the mutation.

You certainly can take a home paternity test without the mother's DNA. Even though the standard home paternity test kit includes DNA swabs for the mother, father, and the child, it is not required to have the mother's DNA.

BRCA1 is located on chromosome 17. Mutations in the gene are transmitted in an autosomal dominant pattern in a family. Since it was clear that not all breast cancer families were linked to BRCA1, studies continued and in 1994, scientists discovered another gene (similar to BRCA1), and named it BRCA2.

Advertisement. The BRCA gene test is offered to those who are likely to have an inherited mutation based on personal or family history of breast cancer or ovarian cancer. The BRCA gene test isn't routinely performed on people at average risk of breast and ovarian cancers.

Even though the standard home paternity test kit includes DNA swabs for the mother, father, and the child, it is not required to have the mother's DNA. The mother's participation is encouraged, both in the process and the testing, but that is left up to the participants to decide.
