Journal ArticleDOI
Hallmarks of 'BRCAness' in sporadic cancers
TL;DR: There are properties that define 'BRCAness' — that is, traits that some sporadic cancers share with those occurring in either BRCA1- or BRCa2-mutation carriers, which might have important implications for the clinical management of these cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI
The DNA damage response and cancer therapy
TL;DR: A better understanding of the cellular response to DNA damage will not only inform the knowledge of cancer development but also help to refine the classification as well as the treatment of the disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results indicate that PARP inhibition might be a useful therapeutic strategy not only for the treatment of BRCA mutation-associated tumors but also for a wider range of tumors bearing a variety of deficiencies in the HR pathway or displaying properties of 'BRCAness.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 9 genome-wide association studies, including 10,052 breast cancer cases and 12,575 controls of European ancestry, and identified 29,807 SNPs for further genotyping suggests that more than 1,000 additional loci are involved in breast cancer susceptibility.
Journal ArticleDOI
The product of the mouse Xist gene is a 15 kb inactive X-specific transcript containing no conserved ORF and located in the nucleus.

TL;DR: Analysis of the entire mouse Xist gene supports a role for Xist in X inactivation, possibly as a functional RNA or as a chromatin organizer region.
