BRCA1 & BRCA2 methylation as a prognostic and predictive biomarker in cancer: Implementation in liquid biopsy in the era of precision medicine
6 Dec 2024
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: BReast CAncer gene 1 (BRCA1) and BReast CAncer gene 2 (BRCA2) encode for tumor suppressor proteins which are critical regulators of the Homologous Recombination (HR) pathway, the most precise and important DNA damage response mechanism. Dysfunctional HR proteins cannot repair double-stranded DNA breaks in mammalian cells, a situation called HR deficiency. Since their identification, pathogenic...
