Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: BRIP1 is a helicase that partners with BRCA1 in the homologous recombination (HR) step in the repair of DNA inter-strand cross-link lesions. It is a rare cause of hereditary ovarian cancer in patients with no mutations of BRCA1 or BRCA2. The role of the protein in other cancers such as gastrointestinal (GI) carcinomas is less well characterized but given its role in DNA repair it could be a candidate...
