nstd230 (Sugimoto et al. 2023)
- Organism:
- Human
- Study Type:
- Case-Set
- Submitter:
- Hiroki Kurahashi
- Description:
- We analyzed the breakpoint location of three-way or more complex constitutional translocations using genomic and epigenomic analyses. This breakpoint distribution corresponded specifically to the ATAC-seq read data peak of mature sperm and not to other chromatin markers or tissues. We propose that the DNA breaks in constitutional complex chromosomal rearrangements might develop at an accessible region of densely packaged chromatin during post-meiotic spermiogenesis.
