La dystrophie myotonique de type 1 (DM1) est la dystrophie la plus fréquente chez l'adulte avec une prévalence estimée à 1 : 8000 individus. C'est une maladie multi-systémique caractérisée par des atteintes musculaires, cardiaques, cognitives et digestives responsables d'une réduction de l'espérance et de la qualité de vie des patients. Elle est causée par une expansion anormale de répétitions CTG en 3'UTR du gène DMPK.

Abstract:
Trinucleotide repeat (TNR) expansions are the cause of over 40 human neurodegenerative diseases, and are linked to DNA damage and base excision repair (BER). We explored the role of DNA damage and BER in modulating TNR instability through analysis of DNA structures, BER protein activities, and reconstitution of repair using human BER proteins and synthesized DNA containing various types of damage. We show that DNA damage and BER can modulate TNR expansions by promoting removal of a TNR hairpin through coordinated activities of BER proteins and cofactors. We found that during repair in a TNR ha

Genomic instability, in the form of gene mutations, insertions/deletions, and gene amplifications, is one of the hallmarks in many types of cancers and other inheritable genetic disorders.

However, it is not clear how the CAG repeats expand through generations in HD. Two possible repeat expansion mechanisms include: 1) polymerase mediated repeat extension; 2) persistent TNR hairpin structure formation persisting in the

CAG/CTG repeat instability is associated with at least 14 neurological disorders, including Huntington’s disease and Myotonic dystrophy type 1.

Addition of extra DNA is essential for repeat expansion, so DNA synthesis is one of the keys for repeat expansion. In vivo studies reveal that 3’ CTG slippage with subsequent hairpin formation (henceforth called the 3’ CTG slippage hairpin) occurs during DNA synthesis. It is proposed that hair

Loss of MMR function leads to the accumulation of mutations and promotes tumorigenesis. Microsatellite instability (MSI) is the hallmark of MMR-deficient cancers. Microsatellites are one to six nucleotide repeats, located in either coding or non-coding regions. These repeats are prone to errors and frequently change in size during DNA replication. Normally, the errors are repaired through MMR. In other words, the lengths of microsatellites can be altered

Abstract:
R-loops are transient intermediates that are formed during the transcription and consist of an RNA-DNA hybrid that is formed between the nascent RNA strand and the template DNA strand and a displaced non-template DNA strand. Formation of R-loops have been detected in organisms from bacteria to humans. If R-loops form more frequently, they impact transcription affecting genome stability, genome integrity and cause a number of diseases. Recently, genome instability caused due to stable RNA-DNA hybrid in R-loop was shown to predominantly associate with expansion of trinucleotide repeats, le

Abstract:
Spinocerebellar ataxia 37 (SCA37) is an autosomal-dominant neurodegenerative disease characterized by cerebellar atrophy, gait and limb incoordination, and dysarthria as the first symptom. SCA37 is caused by an (ATTTC)n insertion within a nonpathogenic (ATTTT)n located in a 5’ UTR intron of DAB1. The age of onset in patients correlates with the number of ATTTCs and there is an increase in repeat insertion size during transmission to the next generation, with larger increases when the father is the transmitting parent. Haplotype analysis suggested that genetic factors flanking the mutant allele
