Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD)

Target
HRD
Molecular classification
Genomic Instability, DNA Repair Deficiency
01

Overview

Homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) refers to the impaired ability of cells to repair DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) through the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway. This deficiency is often caused by mutations or functional loss in key HR genes, leading to genomic instability and increased sensitivity to certain cancer therapies like PARP inhibitors and platinum-based chemotherapies. HRD is frequently observed in cancers such as breast, ovarian, prostate and pancreatic cancers.
