HORMAD1 expression is typically restricted to germline cells where it has an important role in meiotic recombination but has been shown to be upregulated in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Here, the authors report that aberrant HORMAD1 expression weakens the spindle assembly checkpoint, driving sensitivity to AURORA kinase inhibition.
