We analyzed 17 BRCA1 and BRCA2 variants associated with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer to evaluate their impact on RNA splicing. Eight variants showed aberrant splicing, while nine had no spliceogenic effect, enabling improved variant classification. 🔬 This work contributes to refining the clinical interpretation of BRCA1 and BRCA2 variants and highlights the importance of combining experimental and computational evidence for genetic risk assessment. https://academic.oup.com/clinchem/advance-article/doi/10.1093/clinchem/hvaf177/8416539. https://doi.org/10.1093/clinchem/hvaf177.

The FANCM-RMI1/2 complex promotes genomic instability and PARP inhibitor sensitivity in BRCA2-deficicient cells. Cancer cells lacking BRCA1 or BRCA2 must adapt to survive and proliferate despite defective DNA repair and high genomic instability. Restoration of homologous recombination (HR) through loss of DNA end protection rescues growth defects and promotes PARP inhibitor (PARPi) resistance in BRCA1-deficient cells; however, the genetic basis of adaptation to BRCA2 loss remains largely unexplored. To delineate BRCA1- and BRCA2-specific adaptation trajectories, we established a fully isogenic screening platform in mouse embryonic stem cells engineered for acute depletion of either protein. This approach uncovered hundreds of genes with shared, distinct, or even opposing effects between the two BRCA-deficiency states. We identified FANCM and its interacting partners RMI1/2, CENPS/MHF1, CENPX/MHF2, and FAAP24 as essential in BRCA1-deficient cells but toxic in BRCA2- deficient contexts. Loss of FANCM in BRCA2-deficient cells alleviated genomic instability and proliferation defects by preventing RMI1/2-dependent replication fork degradation, without rescuing HR. Moreover, we show that the FANCM-RMI1/2 complex drives PARPi sensitivity in both mouse and human BRCA2-deficient cells, in contrast to the 53BP1-SHLD-CST axis in BRCA1-deficient cells. These findings reveal distinct adaptation routes to BRCA1 and BRCA2 loss and establish FANCM as a determinant of BRCA2-specific vulnerability and therapeutic response, with direct implications for tailoring prevention and therapy according to BRCA mutation status. ### Competing Interest Statement C.J.L. makes the following disclosures: receives and/or has received research funding from: AstraZeneca, Merck KGaA, Artios, Neophore, FoRx.
