G-quadruplex stabilization provokes DNA breaks in human PKD1, revealing a second hit mechanism for ADPKD

Abstract The “secondhit” pathway is responsible for biallelic inactivation of many tumor suppressors, where a pathogenic germline allele is joined by somatic mutation of the remaining functional allele. The mechanisms are unresolved, but the human PKD1 tumor suppressor is a good experimental model f...
