Abstract excerpt
Chromosomal breaks occur spontaneously as a result of normal DNA metabolism and after exposure to DNA-damaging agents. A major pathway involved in chromosomal double-strand break repair is homologous recombination. In this pathway, a DNA sequence with similarity to a damaged chromosome directs the repair of the damage. The protein products of the hereditary breast cancer susceptibility genes, BRCA1 and BRCA2,...
