Defective Artemis nuclease is characterized by coding joints with microhomology in long palindromic‐nucleotide stretches
22 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
T-B-NK+ severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is caused by a defect in V(D)J recombination. A subset of these patients has a mutation in one of the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) genes, most frequently the Artemis gene. Artemis is involved in opening of hairpin-sealed coding ends. The low levels of residual DH-JH junctions that could be amplified from patients' bone marrow precursor B cells showed high...
