Deficiencies in DNA repair are linked with human cancer.
Is it true that deficiencies in DNA repair are linked with human cancer?
Yes. Extensive scientific literature confirms that deficiencies in DNA repair pathways compromise genomic integrity and serve as fundamental drivers of human cancer initiation, progression, and predisposition.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 8 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The retrieved papers overwhelmingly support the link between DNA repair deficiencies and various human cancers, detailing specific mechanisms like homologous recombination deficiency and mismatch repair defects across multiple tumor types.
