Check out our web tool to see interactive networks of DSB repair genes, browse your gene of interest for its contribution to DSB repair profiles and analyze functional relationships based on similarities in repair patterns

Earlier this year, I learned I have a pathogenic variant in BRCA2, which gives me a very high lifetime risk of breast cancer (55-69%), as well as an increased risk of ovarian cancer (12-29%) and pancreatic cancer (5-10%).

When overseeing grant review applications, one particularly grumpy reviewer pointed out why we should care about a mechanism when we know the approach works in the clinics. Exactly, why bother understanding how the engine works when the car still moves—until it doesn’t.

Really excited to share this work led by Yuxin Huang and Wenjing Li. It reveals novel DNA binding activities located in HDOB1 of BRCA2, but it has to be “shut off” by DSS1 for proper BRCA2 activity. rdcu.be/dRaar

Importantly, this regulation is critical for BRCA2 to promote homologous recombination, stabilize replication fork, and prevent R-loop accumulation.
