Abstract excerpt
Approximately half of high-grade ovarian cancers are characterized by genetic and epigenetic alterations in genes involved in homologous recombination repair (HRR), most commonly BRCA1 and BRCA2. HRR defects (HRD) identified by tests of genomic instability confer PARP inhibitor sensitivity in ovarian cancers. Commercial tests that combine tumor BRCA testing with a genomic instability score (HRD test) are...
