Mol Cell Biol 31:3105-12. 2011..These studies broaden the scope of pathways involved in transcription-induced CAG repeat instability and begin to define their interrelationships...
Dnmt1 deficiency promotes CAG repeat expansion in the mouse germlineVincent Dion
Verna and Marrs McLean Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, USDA Children s Nutrition Research Center, Baylor College of Medicine, One Baylor Plaza, Houston, TX 77030, USA
Hum Mol Genet 17:1306-17. 2008..These results are consistent with normal epigenetic changes during germline development contributing to intergenerational instability of CAG repeats in mice and in humans...
Genome-wide demethylation promotes triplet repeat instability independently of homologous recombinationVincent Dion
Verna and Marrs McLean Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX 77030, USA
DNA Repair (Amst) 7:313-20. 2008..The subtle influences of demethylation on HR at the Aprt locus are not sufficient to account for its dramatic effects on repeat instability. We conclude that 5-aza-CdR promotes triplet repeat instability independently of HR...
