Loss of heterozygosity as a marker of homologous repair deficiency in multiple myeloma: a role for PARP inhibition?
2 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
PARP inhibitors can induce synthetic lethality in tumors characterized by homologous recombination deficiency (HRD), which can be detected by evaluating genome-wide loss of heterozygosity (LOH). Multiple myeloma (MM) is a genetically unstable tumor and we hypothesized that HRD-related LOH (HRD-LOH) could be detected in patient samples, supporting a potential role for PARP inhibition in MM. Using results from...
