Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: RAD51D, a paralog of the mammalian RAD51 gene, is an important component for DNA repair and telomere maintenance. A RAD51D variant, E233G, was initially identified as a potential susceptibility allele in high-risk, site-specific, familial breast cancer. We describe in this report, the effects of this amino acid change on RAD51D protein interaction and function. METHODS AND RESULTS: To...
