A Functional Analysis of the Unclassified Pro2767Ser BRCA2 Variant Reveals Its Potential Pathogenicity that Acts by Hampering DNA Binding and Homology-Mediated DNA Repair
<i>BRCA1</i> and <i>BRCA2</i> are the genes most frequently associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC). They are crucial for the maintenance of genome stability, particularly in the homologous recombination-mediated repair pathway of DNA double-strand breaks...
