UBQLN4 Represses Homologous Recombination and Is Overexpressed in Aggressive Tumors [PDF]
Genomic instability can be a hallmark of both human genetic disease and cancer. We identify a deleterious UBQLN4 mutation in families with an autosomal recessive syndrome reminiscent of genome instability disorders.

Genomic Signature of Homologous Recombination Deficiency in Breast and Ovarian Cancers
Homologous recombination deficiency, mainly resulted from BRCA1 or BRCA2 inactivation (so called BRCAness), is found in breast and ovarian cancers. Detection of actual inactivation of BRCA1/2 in a tumor is important for patients’ treatment and follow-up ...

BRCA-deficient breast cancer is characterised by homologous recombination deficiency. Here, the authors show that hypermethylated BRCA1 phenotypically copies mutated BRCA1 in triple negative breast cancers.

Prediction of homologous recombination deficiency from cancer gene expression data
Objective Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) is the main mechanism of tumorigenesis in some cancers. HRD causes abnormal double-strand break repair, resulting in genomic scars.

PURPOSE To determine the genetic predisposition underlying pancreatic acinar cell carcinoma (PACC) and characterize its genomic features. METHODS Both somatic and germline analyses were performed using an Food and Drug Administration–authorized matched ...

Rad54: the Swiss Army knife of homologous recombination? [PDF]
Homologous recombination (HR) is a ubiquitous cellular pathway that mediates transfer of genetic information between homologous or near homologous (homeologous) DNA sequences. During meiosis it ensures proper chromosome segregation in the first division.

PARP inhibitors for homologous recombination-deficient prostate cancer [PDF]
Prostate adenocarcinoma represents a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Increased emphasis on understanding the molecular basis of prostate cancer has identified a substantial burden of homologous recombination (HR) pathway mutations, which are enriched in castrate-resistant disease.

There is a lack of effective treatments for immunotherapy-refectory melanoma. Although PARP inhibitors (PARPi) are an effective treatment strategy in cancers with homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), determining HRD status is challenging in ...

A requirement for STAG2 in replication fork progression creates a targetable synthetic lethality in cohesin-mutant cancers. [PDF]
Cohesin is a multiprotein ring that is responsible for cohesion of sister chromatids and formation of DNA loops to regulate gene expression. Genomic analyses have identified that the cohesin subunit STAG2 is frequently inactivated by mutations in cancer.

DNA strand break repair and neurodegeneration. [PDF]
A number of DNA repair disorders are known to cause neurological problems. These disorders can be broadly characterised into early developmental, mid-to-late developmental or progressive.
