Abstract excerpt
Approximately 20% of high-grade serous ovarian cancers are homologous-recombination (HR)-deficient due to genetic and epigenetic mutations of HR pathway genes including the tumor suppressor genes BRCA1 and 2. HR deficiency (HRD) compromises cells' ability to efficiently repair DNA damage, but it also increases sensitivity to chemotherapeutic treatment strategies; however, not all ovarian cancer patients with HRD...
