ABSTRACT The 2q31 region is commonly associated with pathogenic alleles of the HOXD cluster leading to various clinical phenotypes related to skeletal development. We present a proband with tetralogy of Fallot and multiple congenital anomalies. Genomic variant screening including an in‐house CGR detection pipeline pairing genome sequencing (GS ...

Genomic characterization of IDH-mutant astrocytoma progression to grade 4 in the treatment setting
As the progression of low-grade diffuse astrocytomas into grade 4 tumors significantly impacts patient prognosis, a better understanding of this process is of paramount importance for improved patient care. In this project, we analyzed matched IDH-mutant

DNA damage in the tardigrade Hypsibius exemplaris elicits distinct cellular outcomes depending on replication status. While non‐replicating cells tolerate genotoxic stress, constitutively replicating cells undergo irreversible replication failure upon DNA damage, leading to loss of tissue homeostasis, fat depletion, sterility, and organismal death ...

Ionizing Radiation Induces Microhomology-Mediated End Joiningin transin Yeast and Mammalian Cells [PDF]
DNA double-strand breaks repaired through nonhomologous end joining require no extended sequence homology as a template for the repair. A subset of end-joining events, termed microhomology-mediated end joining, occur between a few base pairs of homology, and such pathways have been implicated in different human cancers and genetic diseases.

Regulation of Error-Prone DNA Double-Strand Break Repair and Its Impact on Genome Evolution
Double-strand breaks are one of the most deleterious DNA lesions. Their repair via error-prone mechanisms can promote mutagenesis, loss of genetic information, and deregulation of the genome.

ErCas12a and T5exo-ErCas12a Mediate Simple and Efficient Genome Editing in Zebrafish
In zebrafish, RNA-guided endonucleases such as Cas9 have enabled straightforward gene knockout and the construction of reporter lines or conditional alleles via targeted knockin strategies. However, the performance of another commonly used CRISPR system,

Gene Editing for Haemophilia—The Next Frontier
ABSTRACT The recently approved haemophilia A and B gene therapies via adeno‐associated virus (AAV) showed a promising therapeutic response after a single injection, but there are still limitations, including the potential loss of transgene expression and restriction in adults.

Microhomology-mediated end joining is the principal mediator of double-strand break repair during mitochondrial DNA lesions [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) deletions are associated with various mitochondrial disorders. The deletions identified in humans are flanked by short, directly repeated mitochondrial DNA sequences; however, the mechanism of such DNA rearrangements has yet to ...

Arabidopsis DNA repair mutants can integrate Agrobacterium T‐DNA into the plant genome
Transient (a) and stable (b) transformation of Arabidopsis thaliana DNA repair/recombination mutants grown under normal light conditions. Summary Agrobacterium transfer DNA (T‐DNA) integration is mediated by plant DNA repair proteins of various nonhomologous end‐joining (NHEJ) pathways.
