Defective DNA damage repair leads to frequent catastrophic genomic events in murine and human tumors
2018-05-04
Abstract excerpt
Chromothripsis and chromoanasynthesis are catastrophic events leading to clustered genomic rearrangements. Whole-genome sequencing revealed frequent chromothripsis or chromoanasynthesis (n= 16/26) in brain tumors developing in mice deficient for factors involved in homologous-recombination-repair or non-homologous-end-joining. Catastrophic events were tightly linked to Myc/Mycn amplification, with increased DNA d...
