Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Individuals with germline pathogenic variants in BRCA1 or BRCA2 are at a high risk of breast and ovarian carcinomas with BRCA1/2 deficiency and homologous recombination deficiency that can be detected by analysis of genome-wide genomic instability features such as large-scale state transitions, telomeric allelic imbalances, and genomic loss of heterozygosity. Malignancies with homologous recombination...
