Roles of BRCA1 and BRCA2 in DNA replication and genome stability
Genomic instability is a hallmark of cancer. The tumour suppressors BRCA1 and BRCA2 play key roles in genome integrity by promoting homologous recombination DNA repair and replication fork stability. Deficiency in these functions has been described as the Achilles heel of BRCA-defective tumours. Thi...
