CRISPR Screens Identify POLB as a Synthetic Lethal Enhancer of PARP Inhibition Exclusively in BRCA-Mutated Tumors
6 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
PARP inhibitors (PARPi) are an approved class of anticancer therapeutics that inhibit the activities of PARP1/2 and produce synthetic lethality in BRCA1/2-mutated cancers because of the absence of a functional homologous recombination-dependent DNA repair pathway. Although PARPis have led to successful clinical outcomes, two thirds of patients develop acquired resistance, limiting long-term utility as maintenance...
