Abstract excerpt
Pathogenic variants in BRCA2 are hereditary risks for various cancers, including breast, ovary, pancreas and prostate. Genomic instability due to insufficient homologous recombination is thought as responsible for carcinogenesis. Reportedly, endogenous or exogenous aldehydes, including formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, suppress BRCA2 function. However, molecular sequences how BRCA2 insufficiency leads to...
