of wild type BRCA1 and BRCA2, DSBs can be efficiently repaired by RAD51 mediated homologous recombination (Fig. 1B). It has been shown that BRCA1 and BRCA2 interact with RAD51, and play essential role in homologous recombination [28, 30, 31]. Thus, in the event of DNA damage associated with PARP inh[r]
