Homologous Recombination Deficiency Landscape of Breast Cancers and Real-World Effectiveness of Poly ADP-Ribose Polymerase Inhibitors in Patients With Somatic BRCA1/2, Germline PALB2, or Homologous ...

Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is a well-described phenotype of some prostate cancers; however, current biomarkers for HRD are imperfect and rely on detection of single gene alterations in ...

A whole-genome sequencing approach shows early promise over current commercial methods for identifying more patients likely ...

A recent study, undertaken by researchers at the Tokyo Metropolitan University and the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Medical Science (both Japan), unravels key steps in the process of homologous ...

Tokyo, Japan – Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have been studying DNA repair by homologous recombination, where the RecA protein repairs breaks in double-stranded DNA by incorporating a ...

DDX11 encodes an iron–sulfur cluster DNA helicase required for development, mutated, and overexpressed in cancers. Here, we show that loss of DDX11 causes replication stress and sensitizes cancer ...

Identifying BRCAness in tumors, even in the absence of BRCA mutations, broadens the reach of targeted therapies, supporting more individualized and effective cancer treatment approaches. BRCAness ...
