A synergetic effect of BARD1 mutations on tumorigenesis

Mutations in the BARD1 gene have been identified as risk factors in breast and ovarian cancers. Here the authors reveal a synergetic effect between the occurance of two cis mutations in the BARD1 gene affecting the cellular DNA damage response and consequently tumorigenesis.
