Germline Mutations in Other Homologous Recombination Repair-Related Genes Than <i>BRCA1/2</i>: Predictive or Prognostic Factors?

The homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway repairs double-strand DNA breaks, mostly by BRCA1 and BRCA2, although other proteins such as ATM, CHEK2, and PALB2 are also involved. <i>BRCA1/2</i> germline mutations are targeted by PARP inhibitors. The aim of this commentary is to expl...
