Zusammenfassung: | [...]we asked whether DNA proofreading and mismatch repair mechanisms involved in HDR could also contribute to the conversion of neighbouring neutral paternal SNPs resulting in loss-of-heterozygosity (LOH) within the MYBPC3 locus. Three embryos (WT4, WT5 and WT6) were heterozygous for all three SNPs, whereas both blastomeres examined from WT3 embryo were heterozygous at SNP #1 and #3 but homozygous at SNP #2 (Table 1 and Fig. 3). [...]this embryo was probably generated from the mutant sperm but subsequently corrected by HDR using the wild-type maternal allele. [...]six out of seven S-phase-injected mosaic embryos generated from the same parental combination were heterozygous A/G (Table 2). [...]we think it is possible that some of these G/G homozygous embryos in the M-phase-injected group also lost paternal SNPs owing to gene conversion. Similar results were obtained from non-injected controls and S-phase-injected embryos (extended data table 2 of the original study3). [...]SNP analyses provided in Tables 1 and 2 for WT/WT embryos in the M-phase-injected group clearly demonstrate retention of paternal SNPs. |
