Tumor suppressor BRCA1 and BRCA2 are frequently mutated in familial breast and ovarian cancer. More than ten percent of women with breast or ovarian cancer carry BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA1/2) mutations. Cancers that arise in mutation carriers have often lost the wild-type allele through somatic alterations during tumor progression. BRCA1/2 play important roles in homologous recombination repair of DNA double-strand breaks. Because of this, BRCA1/2-deficient cancers often have a better response to DNA cross-linking agents such as platinum analogues and to poly(ADPribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors. However, over time, the majority of these BRCA1/2-deficient cancers become resistant and patients die from refractory diseases. Three recent studies demonstrated that acquired resistance to platinum analogues or PARP inhibitors in tumors carrying frame-shift BRCA1/2 mutations came from restored BRCA1/2 expression and HR function due to secondary intragenic mutations that corrected the open reading frames of mutated BRCA1/2.
