| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Premature chromatid separation (PCS) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by constitutional aneuploidy and a high risk of childhood cancer. One of the causes of the disease is functional insufficiency of BUBR1 protein. We found a unique single nucleotide substitution in an intergenic region 44 kb upstream of a BUB1B transcription start site, which cosegregated with the disorder. To examine whether this is the causal mutation, we designed a TALEN-mediated two-step single-base pair editing strategy and biallelically introduced this substitution into cultured human cells. The cell clones showed reduced BUB1B transcripts, and increased PCS frequency, which are the hallmarks of the syndrome. These results suggested that the nucleotide substitution identified was the causal mutation of PCS syndrome.
