Werner syndrome ATP-dependent helicase (WRN) is an enzyme involved in DNA replication and repair and has been identified as a synthetic lethality target in tumors with high microsatellite instability (MSI-H).
Microsatellite instability (MSI), which results from defects in the DNA mismatch repair system, is an important biomarker in colorectal cancer. While the MSI-high (MSI-H) status predicts response to pembrolizumab, a commonly used immune checkpoint inhibitor in metastatic colorectal cancer, a subset of MSI-H patients still does not respond to this treatment.
