RediScore: Prospective validation of a pipeline for homologous recombination deficiency analysis.

ABSTRACT: Tumors harboring homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) are considered optimal candidates for poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP) inhibitor treatment. Such deficiency can be detected by analyzing breast cancer type (BRCA)1/2 gene mutations, as well as mutations in other genes of the homologous recombination pathway. The algorithmic measurement of the HRD effect by identifying genomic instability (GI) has been used as biomarker. As compared with the direct measurement of somatic gene alterations, this approach increases the number of patients who could benefit from PARP inhibitor treatment. In the present study, the performance of the Oncoscan CNV assay, accompanied by appropriate bioinformatic algorithms, was evaluated for its performance in GI calculation and was compared with
