Abstract

We recently developed a Brca1 coiled-coil mutant mouse model (Brca1CC). Brca1CC/CC results in embryonic lethality, with a fraction of mice reaching birth but with defects that parallel Fanconi anemia. Brca1CC/CC cells lacked Rad51 foci and were PARP inhibitor sensitive. Strikingly, inter-crossing with Brca1Δ11 generated Brca1 CC/Δ11 mice that were developmentally normal.
