Abstract:10533 Background: The BAP1 gene ( B RCA1-Associated Protein) encodes a protein ubiquitin carboxyl-terminal hydrolase (BAP1), which removes ubiquitin moieties and regulates various cellular functions including DNA repair. This association has driven interest in defining if BAP1 variants confer susceptibility to PARP inhibitors (PARPi). Germline and somatic BAP1 alterations are both rare, mostly unique, often classified as VUS’s, and associated with a broad range of overlapping tumor types. Based on the identif… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
