Functional Homologous Recombination (HR) Screening Shows the Majority of BRCA1/2-Mutant Breast and Ovarian Cancer Cell Lines Are HR-Proficient
10 Feb 2024
Abstract excerpt
Tumors with a pathogenic BRCA1/2 mutation are homologous recombination (HR)-deficient (HRD) and consequently sensitive to platinum-based chemotherapy and Poly-[ADP-Ribose]-Polymerase inhibitors (PARPi). We hypothesized that functional HR status better reflects real-time HR status than BRCA1/2 mutation status. Therefore, we determined the functional HR status of 53 breast cancer (BC) and 38 ovarian cancer (OC)...
