Abstract excerpt
The CHEK2 gene serves a canonical role in the DNA damage response (DDR) pathway encoding the regulatory kinase CHK2 in the homologous recombination (HR) repair of double-strand breaks (DSB). Although CHEK2 is traditionally considered a tumor suppressor gene, recent studies suggest additional functions. Across several cohort studies, CHEK2 expression was negatively correlated with the efficacy of immune checkpoint...
