Homologous recombination deficiency in ovarian cancer: a review of its epidemiology and management
Ovarian cancer patients with homologous recombination deficiencies exhibit specific clinical behaviors, and improved responses to treatments, such as platinum-based chemotherapy and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, have been observed ...

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 ...

Homologous Recombination Deficiencies and Hereditary Tumors [PDF]
Homologous recombination (HR) is a vital process for repairing DNA double-strand breaks. Germline variants in the HR pathway, comprising at least 10 genes, such as BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, BARD1, BRIP1, CHEK2, NBS1(NBN), PALB2, RAD51C, and RAD51D, lead to inherited susceptibility to specific types of cancers, including those of the breast, ovaries, prostate,

Homologous Recombination Deficiency: Concepts, Definitions, and Assays [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundHomologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is a phenotype that is characterized by the inability of a cell to effectively repair DNA double-strand breaks using the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway. Loss-of-function genes involved in this pathway can sensitize tumors to poly(adenosine diphosphate [ADP]-ribose) polymerase ...

Biomarkers for Homologous Recombination Deficiency in Cancer [PDF]
DNA double-strand breaks foster tumorigenesis and cell death. Two distinct mechanisms can be activated by the cell for DNA repair: the accurate mechanism of homologous recombination repair or the error-prone non-homologous end joining. Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) is associated with sensitivity towards PARP inhibitors (PARPi) and its ...

The progress and prospect of homologous recombination deficiency detection in clinical diagnosis and treatment of cancer [PDF]
Homologous recombination (HR) is the main way to repair DNA double-stranded breaks, single-stranded DNA gaps and stagnation or folding replication forks, helping to maintain telomeres and ensure the correct segregation of chromosomes during meiosis ...

Homologous Recombination Deficiency Detection Algorithms: A Systematic Review
Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) can arise from germline or somatic pathogenic variants as well as other genomic damage and epigenetic alterations in the HR repair pathway. Patients with tumors presenting with an HRD phenotype can show sensitivity to Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis).

Multi-scale characterisation of homologous recombination deficiency in breast cancer
Background Homologous recombination is a robust, broadly error-free mechanism of double-strand break repair, and deficiencies lead to PARP inhibitor sensitivity.

Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) in Cutaneous Oncology
Skin cancers, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC), cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma, are the most common malignancies in the United States. Loss of DNA repair pathways in the skin plays a significant role in tumorigenesis. In recent years, targeting DNA repair pathways, particularly homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), has ...

Determinants of Homologous Recombination Deficiency in Pancreatic Cancer [PDF]
Pancreatic cancer is a treatment-resistant malignancy associated with high mortality. However, defective homologous recombination (HR), a DNA repair mechanism required for high-fidelity repair of double-strand DNA breaks, is a therapeutic vulnerability.
