In cells that cannot repair DNA effectively, changes (mutations) can occur that lead to cancer.

Key Points: 
  • In cells that cannot repair DNA effectively, changes (mutations) can occur that lead to cancer.
  • Most cells rely on a system called homologous recombination or HR, which uses proteins called BRCA1 and BRCA2 for accurate DNA repair.
  • For this reason, identifying patients with "HR-deficient" cancers has become a priority in the field, in part because such cancer cells are vulnerable to targeted therapies that break their DNA.
  • This work was supported by the Starr Cancer Consortium Award I11-005, National Cancer Institute (NCI) 1P50CA247749, and the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award for Medical Scientists.
