Previous studies have primarily focused on the genetic mutations of BRCA1 and its association with hereditary breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA). However, little research has been done to investigate the relationship between BRCA1 and immune infiltrates and prognosis in BRCA.  \nMethods: We obtained the expression profiles and clinical information of patients with BRCA from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. The levels of the BRCA1 gene between BRCA tissues and normal breast tissues were compared through the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Additionally, we performed WB and RTqPCR techniques to detect the expression of BRCA1 . We conducted functional enrichment analyses. Furthermore, we assessed immune cell infiltration using a single-sample gene set enrichment analysis. The methylation status of the BRCA1 gene was analyzed using the UALCAN and MethSurv databases. The Cox regression analysis and (KM) Kaplan-Meier method were employed to determine the prognostic value of BRCA1 . In order to provide a practical tool for predicting the overall survival rates at different time points, we also constructed a nomogram.  \nResults: Our analysis revealed that the expression of BRCA1 was significantly higher in BRCA tissues compared to normal tissues. Furthermore, this increased level of BRCA1 was found to be associated with specific BRCA subtypes, including T2, stage II, ER positive, ect. Importantly, the overexpression of BRCA1 was shown to be a negative prognostic marker for the overall survival rates of BRCA patients. Moreover, low methylation status of the BRCA1 gene was related to a poorer prognosis. Furthermore, our results indicated that high levels of BRCA1 are related to a decrease in level of killer immune cells, such as natural killer (NK) cells, macrophages, CD8+ T cells, and plasma-like dendritic cells (pDCs) within the tumor microenvironment.  \nConclusions: Our study is the first to provide evidence indicating that the presence of BRCA1 can serve as a reliable marker for both diagnosing and determining the prognosis of BRCA. Moreover, BRCA1 acts as a crucial indicator of the cancer’s potential to infiltrate and invade the immune system, which has important implications for developing targeted therapies in BRCA.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nBreast invasive cancer (BRCA) is the most common malignant tumor in women across th","cbCaitcWHLHnmO90","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitcWHLHnmO90","pdf",2602431,"English","# Abstract\n## Background\n## Methods\n## Results\n## Conclusions\n# Introduction","[{\"question\":\"How was BRCA1 expression compared between breast invasive cancer and normal tissues?\",\"answer\":\"BRCA expression profiles and clinical information were taken from TCGA.
