West* INTRODUCTION: Homologous recombination safeguards genome stability by repairing DNA double-strand breaks. Central to this process is RAD51 protein, which polymerizes on single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) to pair homologous sequences with the sister chromatid. In humans, five RAD51 paralogs (RAD51B, RAD51C, RAD51D, XRCC2, and XRCC3) support this process, although their precise roles are not fully understood. RAD51 paralog knockouts in mice are embryonic lethal, and in human cells, depletion impairs RAD51 foci formation, increases genotoxic sensitivity, and causes growth defects. Notably, these genes are linked to cancer predisposition and Fanconi anemia. …
