Beyond proofreading: POLD1 mutations as dynamic orchestrators of genomic instability and immune evasion in cancer
30 Jun 2025
Abstract excerpt
DNA polymerase delta (Pol δ) is a cornerstone of genomic stability, orchestrating DNA replication and repair through its catalytic subunit, POLD1. This subunit's 3'-5' exonuclease domain proofreads replication errors, ensuring fidelity. However, POLD1 mutations-particularly in this domain-disrupt this function, triggering genomic instability and a hypermutated state in cancers. This review delves into the...
