Replication Stress Induces Genome-wide Copy Number Changes in Human Cells that Resemble Polymorphic and Pathogenic Variants

Abstract: Copy number variants (CNVs) are an important component of genomic variation in humans and other mammals. Similar de novo deletions and duplications, or copy number changes (CNCs), are now known to be a major cause of genetic and developmental disorders and to arise somatically in many cancers. A major mechanism leading to both CNVs and disease-associated CNCs is meiotic unequal crossing over, or nonallelic homologous recombination (NAHR), mediated by flanking repeated sequences or segmental duplications.

“…HU-induced deletions and duplications were generally large, ranging in size from 1 kb to 35.7 Mb, with a median size of 132 kb (median deletion size, 126 kb; median duplication size, 166 kb). Consistent with our previous report (18), APH-induced deletions and duplications were similar, ranging from 1 kb to 80.3 Mb, with a median size of 165 kb (median deletion size, 163 kb; median duplication size, 191 kb). These sizes are similar to those seen in spontaneous CNVs arising in untreated control cells, which ranged from 19 kb to 1.5 Mb, with a median size of 187 kb (median deletion size, 196 kb; median duplication size, 166 kb).…”

“…The sizes and breakpoint junction sequences of HU-induced CNVs are consistent with the nonrecurrent class of de novo pathogenic CNVs (37-41), a large class of normal human CNVs (5-7, 42), and APH-induced CNVs (17,18,43) (Fig. S4).…”

“…Indeed, the administration of DNA polymerase inhibitors in cell cultures induces deletions and duplications that have junctions with microhomology. 9 In this context, MMBIR appears to provide a sophisticated explanation for the DNA repair pathway that leads to the complex junctions observed in GCRs. Double-strandbreaks during replication are generally repaired via a homology-dependent pathway whereby DNA ends seek out homologous sequences and then invades the corresponding DNA duplexes with the aid of the RAD51 and RAD52 and commence DNA synthesis (Figure 1, left).…”
