Development of a novel BRCAness score that predicts response to PARP inhibitors
12 Nov 2022
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: BRCAness is a characteristic feature of homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) mimicking BRCA gene mutation in breast cancer. We hypothesized that a measure to quantify BRCAness that causes synthetic lethality in BRCA mutated tumors will identify responders to PARP inhibitors. METHODS: A total of 6753 breast cancer patients from 3 large independent cohorts were analyzed. A score was generated by...
