Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) represents an impairment in the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway, crucial for repairing DNA double-strand breaks and contributing to genomic instability in cancer. The HRD score may be a more reliable biomarker than HRR-related gene mutations for identifying patients sensitive to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors. Despite its relevance in various...
