Article Title: | Loss of 53BP1 is a gain for BRCA1 mutant cells |
Abstract: | Mutations in BRCA1 predispose to tumorigenesis presumably from the inability to accurately repair DNA double-strand breaks by homologous recombination. Two new papers shed light on how loss of the DNA damage response protein 53BP1 reverses phenotypes of BRCA1 mutant cells, with potential clinical implications. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.
