1 10362364 Mutations of a novel human RAD54 homologue, RAD54B, in primary cancer.
2 10362364 Association of breast tumor susceptibility gene products BRCA1 and BRCA2 with the RAD51 recombination protein suggested that cancer could arise through defects in recombination.
3 10362364 The identification of NBS1, responsible for Nijmegen breakage syndrome, from the MRE11/RAD50 recombination protein complex also supports this hypothesis.
4 10362364 These findings suggest that RAD54B may play an active role in recombination processes in concert with other members of the RAD52 epistasis group.
5 10362365 Association of a recombinational repair protein RAD51 with tumor suppressors BRCA1 and BRCA2 suggests that defects in homologous recombination are responsible for tumor formation.
6 10362365 Also recent findings that a protein associated with the MRE11/RAD50 repair complex is mutated in Nijmegen breakage syndrome characterized by increased cancer incidence and ionizing radiation sensitivity strongly support this idea.
7 10362365 Since RAD51 forms a complex with other members of the RAD52 epistasis group and with BRCA proteins, it is reasonable to ask if alterations of members of the RAD52 epistasis group lead to tumor development.
