Abstract
Synthetic lethality exploits tumour-specific dependencies. We performed genome-wide CRISPR screens in BRCA-mutant cancer lines to map DNA-repair vulnerabilities beyond PARP. Loss of POLQ and USP1 emerged as the strongest selective dependencies, and combined inhibition overcame acquired PARP-inhibitor resistance in patient-derived xenografts.
