Breakpoints and junctional regions of intragenic deletions in the HPRT gene in human T-cells

  • Published:
Somatic Cell and Molecular Genetics

Abstract

DNA sequences of the deletion breakpoints of 24 human T-lymphocytehprt gene mutations are reported. These independent deletions ranged in size from 18 to 15655 base pairs. Seven of the 21 in vivo mutations arose in normal adults, three in normal children, eight in radioimmunotherapy patients and three in platinum chemotherapy patients. One in vitro mutation was isolated after 93cGy radon exposure and two after 300cGy γ radiation. The breakpoints were found to be non-random and a cluster of small deletions in exon 6 is reported. Ten of the mutations has 2–5bp direct repeats at the breakpoints. There was no excess of “deletion-associated” motifs over that expected by chance. Some breakpoints do occur at consensus topoisomerase II cleavage sites and the centromeric end of a Donehower sequence occurs exactly at a telomeric breakpoint. Three mutants had breakpoints at hairpins expected by the model of Glickman and Ripley (1).
