Abstract excerpt
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the FMR1 gene and deficiency of a functional FMRP protein. FMRP is known as a translation repressor whose nuclear function is not understood. We investigated the global impact on genome stability due to FMRP loss. Using Break-seq, we map spontaneous and replication stress-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) in an FXS...
