Research summary
AI-generated

Amanda Ewart Toland's research focuses on the genetics of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer, particularly mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes that increase cancer risk. Her work includes classifying which genetic variants are harmful versus harmless, studying DNA repair mechanisms, and examining how factors like body size might change cancer risk for people carrying these gene mutations. This research is relevant to genetic counseling and helping doctors interpret genetic test results for cancer risk.
