A meta-analysis of clinical cases of reversion mutations in <i>BRCA</i> genes identifies signatures of DNA end-joining repair mechanisms driving therapy resistance

2020-07-24

Abstract excerpt

Germline mutations in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes predispose to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer and, mostly in the case of BRCA2 , are also prevalent in cases of pancreatic and prostate malignancies. Tumours from these patients tend to lose both copies of the wild type BRCA gene, which makes them exquisitely sensitive to platinum drugs and PARP inhibitors (PARPi), treatments of choice in these disease settin...
