Abstract excerpt
PALB2 (Partner and localizer of BRCA2) is crucial for repairing DNA double-stranded breaks (DSBs) through homologous recombination (HR). Germline pathogenic variation in PALB2 disrupts DNA damage repair and increases the risk of Fanconi Anemia, breast cancer, and ovarian cancer. Determination of the evolutionary origin of human PALB2 variants will promote a deeper understanding of the biological basis of PALB2...
