Abstract excerpt
DNA-Damage Response (DDR) proteins are crucial for maintaining the integrity of the genome by identifying and repairing errors in DNA. Variants affecting their function can have severe consequences since failure to repair damaged DNA can result in cells turning cancerous. Here, we compare germline and somatic variants in DDR genes, specifically looking at their locations in the corresponding three-dimensional...
