Tempus Gene Library
This gene overview is brought to you as part of Tempus’ goal to inform providers about our genomic testing panels and the genes included in our offerings. Through our robust de-identified database of clinical information coupled with molecular testing results, we are capable of providing unique insights into these gene alterations. Many of the gene alterations reported on our somatic and germline panels are often key inclusion criteria for clinical trials.
RAD51B Gene
RAD51 Paralog BThe RAD51B gene is a member of the RAD51 family that functions in the homologous recombination repair (HRR) pathway. Loss of function mutations, copy number loss, and underexpression of RAD51B are associated with cancer progression.
