In an effort to develop a biomarker of HR deficiency, Telli et al. HR deficient tumours have a higher degree of genomic instability represented by a high number of point mutations, chromosomal structural rearrangements and copy number changes. The identification of tumours that are deficient in the homologous recombination (HR) DNA damage repair pathway is clinically important, as these tumours have been shown to be sensitive to DNA-damaging therapy, such as platinating chemotherapeutic agents, and poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase-inhibitors (PARP-i) 1, 2. For samples with an HRD score close to threshold for stratifying HR proficiency or deficiency there was however some disagreement in the HR status between array and WGS data, highlighting the importance of not relying on a single method of ascertaining the homologous recombination status of a tumour. Here we demonstrate that there is both a high correlation and a good agreement between array- and WGS-derived HRD scores and between the scores derived from WGS and downsampled WGS to represent shallow WGS. Studies have used whole-exome sequencing to derive the HRD score, however, with increasing use of whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to characterise tumour genomes, there has yet to be a comprehensive comparison between HRD scores derived by array versus WGS. The score has utility in understanding tumour biology and may be indicative of response to certain therapeutic strategies. Screen potential benefits of platinum and PARPi for Patientsĭetection of genetic disease, such as hereditary breast cancer-ovarian cancer syndrome, Lynch syndrome.The homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) score was developed using whole-genome copy number data derived from arrays as a way to infer deficiency in the homologous recombination DNA damage repair pathway (in particular BRCA1 or BRCA2 deficiency) in breast cancer samples. HRD Clinical significance of HRD detection For tumor cells with HRD, PARPi suppresses DNA replication forks and DNA replication, leading to cell apoptosis, which achieves anti-tumor effect. In normal cells, the HRR mechanism allows cells to repair DNA replication errors and survive. HRD and Poly ADP-ribose polymerase inhibitor (PARPi) These signatures may act as biomarkers for the state of DNA repair deficiency. Generally, the detectable genomic aberrations caused by HRD are called "Genomic Scars", including loss of heterozygosity (LOH), large scale state transition (LST) and telomeric allelic imbalance (TAI). Meanwhile, the mutation occurred in PALB2, CDK12, RAD51 and other HRR-related genes, as well as other unknown reason, may also lead to HRD. The loss-of-function variants in BRCA1/BRCA2 may directly result in Homologous Recombination Deficiency (HRD). Homologous recombination repair (HRR) is an important pathway for normal cells to repair DNA damage.
