Correlation of homologous recombination deficiency induced mutational signatures with sensitivity to PARP inhibitors and cytotoxic agents

Abstract Background Homologous recombination (HR) repair deficiency arising from defects in BRCA1 or BRCA2 is associated with characteristic patterns of somatic mutations. In this genetic study, we ask whether inactivating mutations in further genes of the HR pathway or the DNA damage checkpoint als...
