Abstract
Homologous recombination (HR) is a vital process for repairing DNA double-strand breaks. Germline variants in the HR pathway, comprising at least 10 genes, such as BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM, BARD1, BRIP1, CHEK2, NBS1(NBN), PALB2, RAD51C, and RAD51D, lead to inherited susceptibility to specific types of cancers, including those of the breast, ovaries, prostate, and pancreas. The penetrance of germline pathogenic variants of each gene varies, whereas all their associated protein products are indispensable for maintaining a high-fidelity DNA repair system by HR. The present review summarizes the basic molecular mechanisms and components that collectively play a role in maintaining genomic integrity against DNA double-strand damage and their clinical implications on each type of hereditary tumor.

1. Introduction
Homologous recombination (HR) is a tightly regulated molecular mechanism essential for maintaining genomic integrity against DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in a wide range of species, including yeast and humans. Compared to other known mechanisms, such as non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) and microho

Incidence, diagnosis and management of tubal and nontubal ectopic pregnancies: a review
Incidence
The overall rate of EP is 1–2 % in the general population, and 2–5 % among patients who have utilized assisted reproductive technology (ART) [5, 6]. Although the overall mortality has decreased over time, ruptured EPs still account for up to 6 % of all maternal deaths; a review of mortality in ART-associated EPs similarly reported a mortality rate of 31.9 deaths per 100,000 pregnancies [5, 7].
Nontubal EPs are pregnancies that implant at sites other than the fallopian tube. These pregnancies account for less than 10 % of all EPs, though their overall incidence has been increasing in recent years [5]. Furthermore, nontubal EPs contribute disproportionately to maternal morbidity and mortality in comparison to tubal EPs. Cervical EPs are estimated to occur in 1:2000 to 1:18,000 pregnancies [8]. The estimated incidence of cesarean scar EPs is 1:1800 to 1:2216 pregnancies, or 6 % of all EPs in women with at least one cesarean delivery [9, 10]. Interstitial EPs account for 4 % of EPs, though the associated morbidity is much higher, with mortality rates of 2.5 % or 7 times the mortality rate associated with other EP locations, largely due to hemorrhage [11, 12].
