As a leading authority on DNA repair contests findings that he falsified data about a key breast cancer gene, other researchers in the field are preparing a salvage operation to make sure good science ...
People inherit two copies of each gene—one from each parent—an evolutionary fail-safe to ensure survival even when one of them doesn't function. For cancer-suppressor genes like BRCA1 ...
The double ring, spool-like structure of RAD52 protects replicating DNA in dividing cells. A study led by the University of ...
Scientists at the University of Iowa have made an exciting discovery that could lead to new cancer-fighting drugs. They found ...
The limited involvement of BRCA1 suggests that tumors harboring BRCA1 variants may not rely on homologous repair deficiency, potentially limiting their responsiveness to PARP [inhibitor]-based ...
Researchers from the University of Iowa have unveiled the structure of a protein that plays a key role in protecting DNA ...
Mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 -- tumor suppressor genes that play a crucial role in DNA repair -- substantially increase the likelihood of cancer.
A real-world study reveals the need for increased homologous repair deficiency and BRCA1/2 testing in patients with ovarian ...
