EXO1
Overview
EXO1 (Exonuclease 1) is a DNA repair exonuclease involved in mismatch repair (MMR), homologous recombination, and DNA double-strand break repair. It was identified as a MutSigCV-significant gene in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, though its functional role awaits validation.
Alterations observed in the corpus
- MutSigCV-significant gene in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC); functional role in PDA biology remains to be validated PMID:25855536
Cancer types (linked)
- PAAD: Identified among novel MutSigCV-significant genes not previously highlighted in PDAC genomics PMID:25855536
Co-occurrence and mutual exclusivity
- Identified alongside FLG, COL14A1, ATXN1, and other novel MutSigCV-significant genes in PDAC PMID:25855536
Therapeutic relevance
- No direct therapeutic targeting reported in the corpus; DNA repair role may inform sensitivity to genotoxic agents.
Open questions
- Whether EXO1 mutations in PDAC confer DNA repair deficiency or microsatellite instability relevant to immunotherapy has not been established.
