MtrBTN2 cancer was found to express at higher levels a significant panel of transcripts of genes involved in the DNA homologous recombination (HR) (42.Double-strand break repair, in figure 4), such as BABAM1, ZSWIM7, RAD51L, RAD54L, MRE11, MCM9 and TONSL. This evidence concerns the gene MRE11 and cancer.
