LINE-1 Endonuclease-Dependent Retrotranspositional Events Causing Human Genetic Disease: Mutation Detection Bias and Multiple Mechanisms of Target Gene Disruption
LINE-1 (L1) elements are the most abundant autonomous non-LTR retrotransposons in the human genome. Having recently performed a meta-analysis of L1 endonuclease-mediated retrotranspositional events causing human genetic disease, we have extended this study by focusing on two key issues, namely, muta...
