PVs in other homologous recombination (HR) genes may also impair homologous recombination repair and confer sensitivity to PARPis; however, their predictive value remains uncertain and appears to vary according to the affected gene and tumor type. We review and critically discuss the current evidence regarding the predictive value of non-BRCA HR gene pathogenic variants as biomarkers of PARPi sensitivity across ovarian, breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancers. A narrative review was conducted between October 2023 and December 2025, first identifying pivotal clinical trials of PARP inhibitors across ovarian, breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancers, followed by a targeted search of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Google Scholar for relevant preclinical and clinical studies. Seventeen clinical studies and multiple preclinical reports were analyzed regarding genomic frequency, HRD association, and treatment response. Preclinical studies consistently demonstrated increased PARPi sensitivity in models with alterations in several non-BRCA HR genes. Clinical evidence, however, was heterogeneous. PALB2 demonstrated the strongest and most consistent association with PARPi benefit across tumor types, while RAD51C and RAD51D also showed clinically meaningful activity, particularly in ovarian cancer. In contrast, evidence supporting PARPi sensitivity in tumors harboring ATM, CHEK2, CDK12, and several other HR gene alterations remained limited or inconsistent. Differences in gene function, biallelic inactivation, variant type, and current limitations of HRD companion diagnostic assays likely contribute to the observed variability in clinical response. Non-BRCA HR gene alterations represent promising predictive biomarkers for PARPi therapy but should not be considered a homogeneous group. Future biomarkerdriven studies integrating comprehensive genomic profiling and functional assessment of homologous recombination deficiency are needed to refine patient selection and optimize the clinical application of PARPis beyond BRCA1/2-associated cancers.  \nKeywords: neoplasms; prostate cancer; breast can","cbCaimWOuS5OLAry","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimWOuS5OLAry","pdf",4418544,42,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Keywords\n# Review Methods and Evidence Summary\n## Preclinical findings\n## Clinical evidence and gene-specific associations\n## Limitations and future directions","[{\"question\":\"What is the central question of this review?\",\"answer\":\"How non-BRCA homologous recombination gene pathogenic variants predict PARPi sensitivity across ovarian, breast, prostate, and pancreatic cancers, and how this evidence compares across tumor types and genes.\"},{\"question\":\"What do preclinical studies generally show about PARPi sensitivity?\",\"answer\":\"Models with alterations in several non-BRCA HR genes consistently demonstrate increased PARPi sensitivity compared with models without such alterations.\"},{\"question\":\"Which non-BRCA genes show the strongest clinical association with PARPi benefit?\",\"answer\":\"PALB2 shows the strongest and most consistent association across tumor types.
