Potential role of oxidative stress-induced apoptosis in mediating chromosomal rearrangements in nasopharyngeal carcinoma

open access: yesCell & Bioscience, 2016
Genetic aberrations have been identified in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), however, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. There are increasing evidences that the apoptotic nuclease caspase-activated deoxyribonuclease (CAD) is one of the players ...

Chromosomal rearrangement interferes with meiotic X chromosome inactivation [PDF]

open access: yesGenome Research, 2007
Heterozygosity for certain mouse and human chromosomal rearrangements is characterized by the incomplete meiotic synapsis of rearranged chromosomes, by their colocalization with the XY body in primary spermatocytes, and by male-limited sterility. Previously, we argued that such X–autosomal associations could interfere with meiotic sex chromosome ...

Tracing cancer evolution and heterogeneity using Hi-C

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Chromosomal rearrangements can initiate and drive cancer progression, yet it has been challenging to evaluate their impact, especially in genetically heterogeneous solid cancers.

Re-evaluation of the carcinogenic significance of hepatitis B virus integration in hepatocarcinogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
To examine the role of hepatitis B virus (HBV) integration in hepatocarcinogenesis, a systematic comparative study of both tumor and their corresponding non-tumor derived tissue has been conducted in a cohort of 60 HBV associated hepatocellular carcinoma

Palindrome-Mediated Translocations in Humans: A New Mechanistic Model for Gross Chromosomal Rearrangements

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2016
Palindromic DNA sequences, which can form secondary structures, are widely distributed in the human genome. Although the nature of the secondary structure—single-stranded “hairpin” or double-stranded “cruciform”—has been extensively investigated in vitro,

Recruitment and rejoining of remote double-strand DNA breaks for enhanced and precise chromosome editing

open access: yesGenome Biology
Chromosomal rearrangements, such as translocations, deletions, and inversions, underlie numerous genetic diseases and cancers, yet precise engineering of these rearrangements remains challenging.

Molecular and classical cytogenetic analyses demonstrate an apomorphic reciprocal chromosomal translocation in Gorilla gorilla [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
The existence of an apomorphic reciprocal chromosomal translocation in the gorilla lineage has been asserted or denied by various cytogeneticists. We employed a new molecular cytogenetic strategy (chromosomal in situ suppression hybridization) combined ...

A case of complex balanced chromosomal translocations associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes

open access: yesMolecular Cytogenetics, 2022
Complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCR) are rare chromosomal structural abnormalities. The chromosomal structural variants in CCR carriers are one of the factors contributing to a history of adverse pregnancy and childbirth.

Three-dimensional genome architecture influences partner selection for chromosomal translocations in human disease. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Chromosomal translocations are frequent features of cancer genomes that contribute to disease progression. These rearrangements result from formation and illegitimate repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), a process that requires spatial ...

Genome reorganization in different cancer types: detection of cancer specific breakpoint regions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background: Tumorigenesis is a multi-step process which is accompanied by substantial changes in genome organization. The development of these changes is not only a random process, but rather comprise specific DNA regions that are prone to the ...
