|- | |- | ||
| | |'''BRCA1'''; Loss-of-function germline or somatic mutations | ||
| | |Homologous recombination (HR) DNA double-strand break repair; DNA damage response | ||
| | |Defective DNA repair leading to genomic instability and chromosomal aberrations; increased cancer susceptibility. Tumors demonstrate '''homologous recombination deficiency (HRD)''' and sensitivity to platinum agents and PARP inhibitors | ||
|- | |- | ||
| | |'''BRCA2'''; Loss-of-function germline or somatic mutations | ||
| | |Homologous recombination DNA repair (RAD51 loading and stabilization) | ||
| | |Impaired repair of DNA double-strand breaks, genomic instability, and tumorigenesis; HRD phenotype with therapeutic vulnerability to PARP inhibition | ||
|- | |- | ||
| | |'''PALB2'''; Inactivating mutations | ||
| | |BRCA1–BRCA2–PALB2 DNA repair complex (HR pathway) | ||
| | |Disruption of BRCA1–BRCA2 interaction, defective homologous recombination, and increased cancer risk similar to BRCA2-associated tumors | ||
|- | |- | ||
| | |'''ATM'''; Inactivating mutations | ||
| | |DNA damage sensing and signaling (ATM–CHK2 pathway) | ||
| | |Impaired activation of DNA damage checkpoints, defective response to double-strand breaks, accumulation of genomic damage, and cancer predisposition | ||
