Homologous recombination deficiency in breast cancer [PDF]
SummaryBRCAmutation-related DNA repair deficiencies increase the individual sensitivity to DNA-targeting agents. Therefore, the patient’sBRCAmutational status is evaluated in clinical practice as a predictive marker in response to platinum salts and poly-ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors for breast cancer treatment.

Homologous recombination proficiency in ovarian and breast cancer patients
Homologous recombination and DNA repair are important for genome maintenance. Genetic variations in essential homologous recombination genes, including BRCA1 and BRCA2 results in homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) and can be a target for ...

Biomarkers for Homologous Recombination Deficiency in Cancer [PDF]
Defective DNA repair is a common hallmark of cancer. Homologous recombination is a DNA repair pathway of clinical interest due to the sensitivity of homologous recombination-deficient cells to poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. The measurement of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) in cancer is therefore vital to the appropriate design

Homologous Recombination Deficiency: Cancer Predispositions and Treatment Implications [PDF]
Abstract Homologous recombination (HR) is a highly accurate DNA repair mechanism. Several HR genes are established cancer susceptibility genes with clinically actionable pathogenic variants (PVs).

Homologous Recombination Deficiency Scar: Mutations and Beyond—Implications for Precision Oncology [PDF]
Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is a prevalent in approximately 17% of tumors and is associated with enhanced sensitivity to anticancer therapies inducing double-strand DNA breaks. Accurate detection of HRD would therefore allow improved patient selection and outcome of conventional and targeted anticancer therapies. However, current clinical

Utility of Homologous Recombination Deficiency Biomarkers Across Cancer Types [PDF]
PURPOSE Homologous recombination DNA repair deficiency (HRD) is associated with sensitivity to platinum and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors in certain cancer types, including breast, ovarian, pancreatic, and prostate. In these cancers, BRCA1/ 2 alterations and genomic scar signatures are useful indicators for assessing HRD. However, alterations

Homologous recombination deficiency: how genomic signatures are generated
Cancer genomes harbor mutational and structural rearrangements that are jointly shaped by DNA damage and repair mechanisms. Accumulating evidence suggests that genetic alterations in DNA repair-defective tumors reflect the scars caused by the use of backup DNA repair mechanisms needed to maintain cellular viability. Detailed analysis of the patterns of
