NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – The extent to which the BRCA1 promoter is methylated could signal an ovarian tumor's susceptibility to PARP inhibitor treatment, a new study has found.

PARP inhibitor treatment has been effective in treating some patients with high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma with defective DNA repair. But not all patients respond as expected.
