Abstract excerpt
Homologous recombination DNA repair deficiency (HRD) is a functional defect in homologous recombination DNA repair, arising from germline or somatic mutations in BRCA1/2 or other mechanisms. Cells with HRD are more sensitive to platinum and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPi). HRD generates permanent changes in the genome with specific, quantifiable patterns ("genomic scars"). Clinical tests for HRD,...
