HRD is common in cancer and can be exploited therapeutically, as it sensitizes cells to DNA-damaging agents. Here, we scored more than 1,300 cancer cell lines for HRD using two different bioinformatic approaches, thereby enabling large-scale analyses that provide insights into the etiology and features of HRD.

Article Synopsis
  • Defects in DNA repair pathways, particularly in BRCA1 or BRCA2, contribute to tumor evolution and resistance to therapies like PARP inhibitors, creating vulnerabilities in tumors.
  • Researchers identified USP1 as a key target in BRCA-mutant tumors and developed KSQ-4279, the first selective USP1 inhibitor being tested clinically.
  • The combination of KSQ-4279 and PARP inhibitors showed promise by effectively reducing tumors resistant to PARP treatment, suggesting a new strategy for improving outcomes in patients with HR-deficient tumors.
