Homologous recombination deficiency is inversely correlated with microsatellite instability and identifies immunologically cold tumors in most cancer types

Abstract Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) leads to DNA double‐strand breaks and can be exploited by the use of poly (ADP‐ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors to induce synthetic lethality. Extending the original therapeutic concept, the role of HRD is currently being investigated in clinica...
