DLG2 impairs dsDNA break repair and maintains genome integrity in neuroblastoma

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In primary neuroblastoma, deletions on chromosome 11q are known to result in an increase in the total number of chromosomal breaks. The DNA double-strand break repair pathways mediated by NHEJ are often upregulated in cancer. DLG2, a candidate tumor suppressor gene on chromosome 11q, has previously been implicated in DNA repair. METHODS: We evaluated an association between gene expression and...
