1. which chromosome is related to breast cancer? HER2 gene on Chromosome 17 2. the name of the protein coded for by the gene that is defected HER2/neu 3. the age of onset umm... you mean average? Not sure, probably >35 4. is it sex-linked or autosomal? Since it’s not on a sex chromosome I suppose it’s Autosomal :) 5. is it dominant or recessive? Definitely not dominant… I suppose recessive, but I’m not actually sure that’s confirmed. check out these: Wikipedia, emedicine, webMD
