ZC3H18 specifically binds and activates the BRCA1 promoter to facilitate homologous recombination in ovarian cancer

High-grade serous ovarian cancers (HGSOCs) have defects in homologous recombination despite a lack of BRCA1/2 mutations. Here, the authors show that ZC3H18 positively regulates BRCA1 transcription and its loss causes BRCA1 promoter methylation and increased HR deficiency in HGSOCs.
