BRCA2 deficiency instigates cGAS-mediated inflammatory signaling and confers sensitivity to tumor necrosis factor-alpha-mediated cytotoxicity

The loss of homologous recombination (HR) genes such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 is deleterious to the survival of normal cells, yet it is tolerated in cancer cells. Here the authors identify TNFα signaling as a determinant of viability in BRCA2- inactivated cancer cells.
