DNA Double Strand Breaks cause chromosome loss through sister chromatid tethering in human embryos
2022-03-10
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary paragraph</h4> Genome editing by DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) is currently being investigated as a tool to treat or even prevent heritable diseases 1 . However, DNA repair mechanisms in the human embryo remain poorly understood and DSBs may result in chromosome loss 2,3 . Here we provide evidence of whole and segmental chromosome loss in over one third of chromosomes 16, 17 and X targeted by CRISP...
