Mutations of #BRCA1 and #BRCA2 #genes, which are inherited by 1 in 400 and 1 in 800 people respectively, significantly increase the risk of certain cancers such as #ovarian, #breast, #pancreatic and #prostate #cancer.

In their new @CellReports@twitter.com paper, researchers from former CeMM PI & @MedUni_Wien@twitter.com Assoc. Prof. Joanna Loizou (@LoizouJoanna@twitter.com) demonstrate how inhibiting the POLΘ enzyme can stop the growth of #cancer cells with mutations in #BRCA1 ✂️🧬 ➡️ https://bit.ly/3tBIc2l
