Synthetic lethality in DNA repair network: A novel avenue in targeted cancer therapy and combination therapeutics
23 Nov 2017
Abstract excerpt
Synthetic lethality refers to a lethal phenotype that results from the simultaneous disruptions of two genes, while the disruption of either gene alone is viable. Many DNA double strand break repair (DSBR) genes have synthetic lethal relationships with oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, which can be exploited for targeted cancer therapy, an approach referred to as combination therapy. DNA double-strand breaks...
