Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the MCPH1 gene cause primary microcephaly associated with a unique cellular phenotype of misregulated chromosome condensation. The encoded protein contains three BRCT domains, and accumulating data show that MCPH1 is involved in the DNA damage response. However, most of this evidence has been generated by experiments using RNA interference (RNAi) and cells from non-human model organisms. Here, we...
