Patient Assessment and Therapy Planning Based on Homologous Recombination Repair Deficiency

Application of Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD) in Tumor Patient Assessment and Treatment Planning Background Homologous Recombination (HR) is an important mechanism for repairing DNA Double-Strand Breaks (DSBs). However, when key genes in the HR repair pathway are mutated or epigenetically inactivated, cells are unable to effectively repa...
