Selection for Decreased BRCA2 Functional Activity in Homo sapiens After Divergence from the Chimpanzee-Human Last Common Ancestor

C. A. Iacobuzio-Donahue, J. Huang, Y. Zhong, A. P. Makohon-Moore, T. White, M. Jasin, M. A. Norell, W. C. Wheeler

The paper identifies a human-specific BRCA2 variant that reduces DNA repair ability, suggesting positive selection for decreased BRCA2 function in human evolution.
