The rationale behind this approach is that one can define a specific profile of, for
example, HR-deficient tumors. RNA profiling or gene expression arrays have been used for this purpose and show potential in identifying PARP inhibitor sensitive tumors http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/842072; http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article/file?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0064268&type=printable; ttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4053087/pdf/bcr3625.pdf;
