Journal ArticleDOI

The human mutator gene homolog MSH2 and its association with hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer.

TL;DR: Data and reports indicating that S. cerevisiae msh2 mutations cause an instability of dinucleotide repeats like those associated with H NPCC suggest that hMSH2 is the HNPCC gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutational Processes Molding the Genomes of 21 Breast Cancers

TL;DR: This work generated catalogs of somatic mutation from 21 breast cancers and applied mathematical methods to extract mutational signatures of the underlying processes, finding a remarkable phenomenon of localized hypermutation, termed “kataegis,” was observed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oral poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor olaparib in patients with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations and advanced breast cancer

TL;DR: The results of this study provide positive proof of concept for PARP inhibition in BRCA-deficient breast cancers and shows a favourable therapeutic index for a novel targeted treatment strategy in patients with tumours that have genetic loss of function of BRCa1-associated orBRCA2-associated DNA repair.
