Abstract

Although evidence supports the involvement of EMSY in DNA repair, EMSY amplification fails to suppress RAD51 foci formation, a marker of homologous recombination DNA repair. The majority of analyses to date have been performed in cell lines. Models more closely representing patients should be studied to determine the relevance of EMSY for use as a predictive biomarker for response to platinum and poly (adenosine diphosphate ribose) polymerase inhibitor therapy.
