Journal ArticleDOI

Gene conversion: mechanisms, evolution and human disease

TL;DR: Current thinking about how gene conversion occurs is assessed, the key part it has played in fashioning extant human genes is explored, and a meta-analysis of gene-conversion events that are known to have caused human genetic disease is carried out.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variants in CPA1 are strongly associated with early onset chronic pancreatitis

Heiko Witt, +70 more
- 01 Oct 2013 - 
TL;DR: The mechanism by which CPA1 variants confer increased pancreatitis risk may involve misfolding-induced endoplasmic reticulum stress rather than elevated trypsin activity, as is seen with other genetic risk factors for this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

A systematic analysis of LINE-1 endonuclease-dependent retrotranspositional events causing human genetic disease

TL;DR: The systematic study of these lesions, when combined with previous in vitro and genome-wide analyses, has strengthened several important conclusions regarding L1-mediated retrotransposition in humans: approximately 25% of L1 insertions are associated with the 3′ transduction of adjacent genomic sequences, and ~25% of the new L1 inserts are full-length.
Journal ArticleDOI

A degradation-sensitive anionic trypsinogen ( PRSS2 ) variant protects against chronic pancreatitis

Heiko Witt, +64 more
- 14 May 2006 - 
TL;DR: The G191R variant of PRSS2 mitigates intrapancreatic trypsin activity and thereby protects against chronic pancreatitis.
