Deskripsi
BRCA1 mutations located within the BRCT domain result in proteasomal degradation and sensitivity to PARP inhibitors (PARPi). Here, the authors report genetic rearrangements in the BRCA1 gene that generate a BRCT-less BRCA1 protein isoform, which avoids degradation and leads to PARPi resistance.
