Emerging role of RNA•DNA hybrids inC9orf72-linked neurodegeneration
16 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
RNA plays an active role in structural polymorphism of the genome through the formation of stable RNA•DNA hybrids (R-loops). R-loops can modulate normal physiological processes and are also associated with pathological conditions, such as those related to nucleotide repeat expansions. A guanine-rich hexanucleotide repeat expansion in chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9orf72) has been linked to a spectrum of...
