Abstract excerpt
Meier-Gorlin syndrome (MGS) is a form of primordial dwarfism linked to mutations in DNA replication initiation factors. Many MGS variants affect proteins required for the first step of replication initiation-the licensing of replication origins-during which the origin recognition complex (ORC), CDC6, and CDT1 cooperatively load MCM2-7 complexes onto DNA as an MCM double hexamer. The specific impacts of MGS...
