Why the incidence of 22q11.2DS is much greater than that of other genomic disorders remains unknown. Short read sequencing cannot resolve the complex segmental duplicon structure to provide direct confirmation of the hypothesis that the rearrangements are caused by non-allelic homologous recombination between the low copy repeats on chromosome 22 (LCR22s). To enable haplotype-specific assembly and rearrangement mapping in LCR22 regions, we combined fiber-FISH optical mapping with whole genome (ultra-)long read sequencing or rearrangement-specific long-range PCR on 24 duos (22q11.2DS patient and parent-of-origin) comprising several different LCR22-mediated rearrangements. Unexpectedly, we demonstrate that not only different paralogous segmental duplicon but also palindromic AT-rich repeats (PATRR) are driving 22q11.2 rearrangements. In addition, we show the existence of two different inversion polymorphisms preceding rearrangement, and somatic mosaicism. The existence of different recombination sites and mechanisms in paralogues and PATRRs which are copy number expanding in the human population are a likely explanation for the high 22q11.2DS incidence.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1101\/2024.03.14.585046","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,19]],"date-time":"2024-03-19T10:55:41Z","timestamp":1710845741000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Multiple paralogues and recombination mechanisms drive the high incidence of 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.64898","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0805-8149","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lisanne","family":"Vervoort","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8051-6602","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nicolas","family":"Dierckxsens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0974-1724","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marta Sousa","family":"Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Senne","family":"Meynants","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9184-445X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Erika","family":"Souche","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ruben","family":"Cools","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1860-7292","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tracy","family":"Heung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Koen","family":"Devriendt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hilde","family":"Peeters","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4077-250X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Donna M.","family":"McDonald-McGinn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4258-4537","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ann","family":"Swillen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0734-5154","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jeroen","family":"Breckpot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9207-6955","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Beverly S.","family":"Emanuel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9604-5726","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hilde","family":"Van Esch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0681-7279","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anne S.","family":"Bassett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3071-1191","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joris R.","family":"Vermeesch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"54368","reference":[{"key":"2024032112550761000_2024.03.14.585046v1.1","first-page":"964","volume-title":"Health Policy","volume":"119","year":"2015"},{"key":"2024032112550761000_2024.03.14.585046v1.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1072047"},{"key":"2024032112550761000_2024.03.14.585046v1.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1101\/gr.GR-1871R"},{"key":"2024032112550761000_2024.03.14.585046v1.4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1286","DOI":"10.1038\/ejhg.2014.282","article-title":"Noninvasive prenatal testing using a novel analysis pipeline to screen for all autosomal fetal aneuploidies improves pregnancy management","volume":"23","year":"2015","journal-title":"Eur J Hum Genet"},{"key":"2024032112550761000_2024.03.14.585046v1.5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"E802","DOI":"10.9778\/cmajo.20200294","article-title":"Estimate of the contemporary live-birth prevalence of recurrent 22q11.2 deletions: a cross-sectional analysis from population-based newborn screening","volume":"9","year":"2021","journal-title":"C open"},{"key":"2024032112550761000_2024.03.14.585046v1.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/ng.2334"},{"key":"2024032112550761000_2024.03.14.585046v1.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2058","DOI":"10.1002\/ajmg.a.40637","article-title":"What is new with 22q?
