Homologous recombination deficiency is inversely correlated with microsatellite instability and identifies immunologically cold tumors in most cancer types
5 Apr 2022
Abstract excerpt
Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) leads to DNA double-strand breaks and can be exploited by the use of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors to induce synthetic lethality. Extending the original therapeutic concept, the role of HRD is currently being investigated in clinical trials testing immune checkpoint blockers alone or in combination with PARP inhibitors, but the relationship between HRD...
