Comparative Assessment of Diagnostic Homologous Recombination Deficiency-Associated Mutational Signatures in Ovarian Cancer.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extracted different types of mutational signature-based homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) measures, such as the HRD score, genome-wide LOH, and HRDetect, from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) whole-exome sequencing (WES) data and compared their performance to identify BRCA1/2-deficient cases in the TCGA ovarian cancer cohort and predict survival benefit.
