<i>Palb2</i> synergizes with <i>Trp53</i> to suppress mammary tumor formation in a model of inherited breast cancer
8 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
Germ-line mutations in PALB2 lead to a familial predisposition to breast and pancreatic cancer or to Fanconi Anemia subtype N. PALB2 performs its tumor suppressor role, at least in part, by supporting homologous recombination-type double strand break repair (HR-DSBR) through physical interactions with BRCA1, BRCA2, and RAD51. To further understand the mechanisms underlying PALB2-mediated DNA repair and tumor...
