Detection of extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) in plasma samples from EGFR‐mutated non‐small cell lung cancer patients. Plasma was collected before and during treatment with the EGFR‐tyrosine kinase inhibitor osimertinib. Plasma eccDNA was detected in all cancer samples, and the presence of the EGFR gene on eccDNA serves as a potential biomarker ...

Rad62 protein functionally and physically associates with the Smc5/Smc6 protein complex and is required for chromosome integrity and recombination repair in fission yeast [PDF]
Smc5 and Smc6 proteins form a heterodimeric SMC (structural maintenance of chromosome) protein complex like SMC1-SMC3 cohesin and SMC2-SMC4 condensin, and they associate with non-SMC proteins Nse1 and Nse2 stably and Rad60 transiently.

Analysis of homologous recombination deficiency in prostate cancer
Background. Mutations in homologous recombination repair (HRR) genes (BRCA2, ATM, CHEK2, NBN, etc.) are found in 20–25 % of patients with metastatic prostate cancer (PC) and are an indication for prescription of PARP inhibitors.

Efficacy of PARP Inhibitors in the Treatment of Ovarian Cancer: A Literature-Based Review
Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors are a unique class of therapeutic agents that focus on tumors with deficiencies in the homologous recombination DNA repair mechanism.

DirectHRD enables sensitive scar-based classification of homologous recombination deficiency. [PDF]
Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is a predictive biomarker for efficacy of PARP inhibition and platinum chemotherapy but remains challenging to detect from low tumor fraction samples such as liquid biopsies. Here, we describe DirectHRD, a whole-genome sequencing (WGS) scar-based classifier that is 10x more sensitive than state-of-the-art ...

Clinical trials on PARP inhibitors in urothelial carcinoma (UC) showed limited efficacy and a lack of predictive biomarkers. We propose SLFN5, SLFN11, and OAS1 as UC‐specific response predictors. We suggest Talazoparib as the better PARP inhibitor for UC than Olaparib.

PARP inhibition: a promising therapeutic target in ovarian cancer [PDF]
Ovarian cancer is burdened by the highest mortality rate among gynecological cancers. Gold standard is represented by the association of platinum-taxane -based chemotherapy and radical surgery.

Intraductal carcinoma of the prostate (IDC-P) is a subtype of prostate cancer featured by poor prognosis. Previous studies suggested IDC-P could have a potentially unstable genome.

The MRN complex is transcriptionally regulated by MYCN during neural cell proliferation to control replication stress [PDF]
The MRE11/RAD50/NBS1 (MRN) complex is a major sensor of DNA double strand breaks, whose role in controlling faithful DNA replication and preventing replication stress is also emerging. Inactivation of the MRN complex invariably leads to developmental and/

Recurrent De Novo NAHR Reciprocal Duplications in the ATAD3 Gene Cluster Cause a Neurogenetic Trait with Perturbed Cholesterol and Mitochondrial Metabolism. [PDF]
Recent studies have identified both recessive and dominant forms of mitochondrial disease that result from ATAD3A variants. The recessive form includes subjects with biallelic deletions mediated by non-allelic homologous recombination.
