Abstract excerpt
Microsatellite instability is responsible for the human Repeat Expansion Disorders. The mutation responsible differs from classical cancer-associated microsatellite instability (MSI) in that it requires the mismatch repair proteins that normally protect against MSI. LIG4, an enzyme essential for non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ), the major pathway for double-strand break repair (DSBR) in mammalian cells, protects...
