Rare genetic diseases associated with G-quadruplex-induced replication stress.
Several rare genetic diseases may share a common broken mechanism, suggesting one therapeutic strategy could help multiple conditions.
This Communications Biology review maps rare genetic diseases to a shared mechanism of G-quadruplex-induced replication stress, including Fanconi anemia, Bloom syndrome, and related conditions. Identifying this common pathway may enable broad therapeutic strategies targeting G-quadruplex resolution enzymes across multiple rare diseases.
