Abstract excerpt
Constitutional chromosomal translocations are relatively common causes of human morbidity, yet the DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair mechanisms that generate them are incompletely understood. We cloned, sequenced and analyzed the breakpoint junctions of a familial constitutional reciprocal translocation t(9;11)(p24;q23). Within the 10-kb region flanking the breakpoints, chromosome 11 had 25% repeat elements,...
