Variation in RAD51 details a hub of functions: opportunities to advance cancer diagnosis and therapy
2018-12-03
Abstract excerpt
Loss of genome stability is one of the hallmarks of the enabling characteristics of cancer development. Homologous recombination is a DNA repair process that often breaks down as a prelude to developing cancer. Conversely, homologous recombination can be the Achilles’ heel in common anti-cancer therapies, which are effective by inducing irreparable DNA damage. Here, we review recent structural and functional studi...
