Excessive transcription-replication conflicts are a vulnerability of BRCA1-mutant cancers

…, R Krishnan, JJ Reynolds, KCJ Nixon… - Nucleic Acids …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
BRCA1 mutations are associated with increased breast and ovarian cancer risk. BRCA1-mutant
tumors are high-grade, recurrent, and often become resistant to standard therapies. …

RNF8 ubiquitylation of XRN2 facilitates R-loop resolution and restrains genomic instability in BRCA1 mutant cells

…, M Lapierre, B Gautreau, KCJ Nixon… - Nucleic Acids …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Breast cancer linked with BRCA1/2 mutations commonly recur and resist current therapies,
including PARP inhibitors. Given the lack of effective targeted therapies for BRCA1-mutant …

[PDF][PDF] A syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in SMARCD1, a core SWI/SNF subunit needed for context-dependent neuronal gene regulation …

KCJ Nixon, J Rousseau, MH Stone, M Sarikahya… - The American Journal of …, 2019 - cell.com
Mutations in several genes encoding components of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling
