Synergistic role of <i>Alu</i> and core duplicon sequences in driving genomic instability at the disease-associated 16p12.3–p13.11 region
2025-07-12
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Human chromosome 16p is a hotspot of interspersed segmental duplications (SDs), which have served as row material for gene innovation while also increasing susceptibility to recurrent pathogenic rearrangements. These SDs are organized around a high-copy, ancestral core duplicon known as LCR16a (Low Copy Repeat 16a), and are characterized by an enrichment of Alu elements at their boundaries. In...
