Are There Specific Chemicals That Interact with BRCA1?
Research has identified that certain estrogenic compounds and endocrine disruptors might interact with BRCA1 pathways. These substances can mimic hormonal activity and potentially influence BRCA1 expression and function. An example includes bisphenol A (BPA), a common industrial chemical used in plastics, which has been studied for its possible role in disrupting BRCA1 activity.
