Effects of germline and somatic events in candidate BRCAness genes on breast-tumor signatures
2019-06-11
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 cause deficiencies in homologous recombination repair (HR), resulting in repair of DNA double-strand breaks by the alternative non-homologous end-joining pathway, which is more error prone. HR deficiency of breast tumors is important because it is associated with better responses to platinum salt therapies and PARP inhibitors. Among other consequences of HR defic...
