Mayo Clinic researchers used CRISPR to analyze BRCA2 variants, improving cancer risk assessments.
Researchers from the Mayo Clinic used CRISPR-Cas9 technology to analyze nearly 7,000 variants in the BRCA2 gene, classifying 91% of variants of uncertain significance (VUS). This breakthrough improves genetic testing accuracy, enabling more precise cancer risk assessments and personalized treatment plans for patients with hereditary cancers. The findings also aid in identifying patients who might benefit from targeted therapies like PARP inhibitors.
