Defective DNA double‐strand break repair in pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus
8 Sept 2011
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Previous reports of cells from patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) note that repair of single-strand breaks is delayed, and these lesions may be converted to double-strand breaks (DSBs) at DNA replication forks. We undertook this study to assess the integrity of DSB recognition, signaling, and repair mechanisms in B lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from patients with pediatric SLE....
