Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: PARP inhibitors (PARPi) are efficacious in multiple cancers harboring germline (and possibly somatic) BRCA1/2 mutations. Acquired reversions can restore BRCA1/2 function, causing resistance to PARPi and/or platinum-based chemotherapy. The optimal method of identifying patients with germline, somatic, and/or reversion mutations in BRCA1/2 has not been established. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) of...
