The instability of microsatellite DNA repeats is responsible for at least forty neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, Mirkin and colleagues presented a novel mechanism for microsatellite expansions based on break-induced replication (BIR) at sites of microsatellite-induced replication stalling and fork collapse. The BIR model aims to explain single-step, large expansions of CAG/CTG trinucleotide repeats in dividing cells. BIR has been characterized extensively in S. cerevisiae as a mechanism to repair broken DNA replication forks (single-ended DSBs) and degraded telomeric DNA. However, the structural footprints of BIR-like DSB repair have been recognized in human genomic instability and tied to the etiology of diverse developmental diseases; thus, the implications of the paper by Kim et al. extend beyond trinucleotide repeat expansion in yeast and microsatellite instability in human neurological disorders. Significantly, insight into BIR-like repair can explain certain pathways of complex genome rearrangements (CGRs) initiated at non-B form microsatellite DNA in human cancers.
