Abstract
Germline mutations in the BRCA genes are associated with a higher risk of carcinogenesis, which is linked to an increased mutation rate and loss of the second unaffected BRCA allele (loss of heterozygosity, LOH). However, the mechanisms triggering mutagenesis are not clearly understood. The BRCA genes contain high numbers of repetitive DNA sequences. We detected replication forks stalling, DNA breaks, and deletions at these sites in haploinsufficient BRCA cells, thus identifying the BRCA genes as fragile sites. Next, we found that stalled forks are repaired by error-prone pathways, such as microhomology-mediated break-induced replication (MMBIR) in haploinsufficient BRCA1 breast epithelial cells. We detected MMBIR mutations in BRCA1 tumor cells and noticed deletions-insertions (>50 bp) at the BRCA1 genes in BRCA1 patients. Altogether, these results suggest that under stress, error-prone repair of stalled forks is upregulated and induces mutations, including complex genomic rearrangements at the BRCA genes (LOH), in haploinsufficient BRCA1 cells.

Abstract
Reprogrammed pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) are valuable for research and potentially for cell replacement therapy. However, only a fraction of reprogrammed PSCs are developmentally competent. Genomic stability and accurate DNA synthesis are fundamental for cell development and critical for safety. We analyzed whether defects in DNA replication contribute to genomic instability and the diverse differentiation potentials of reprogrammed PSCs. Using a unique single-molecule approach, we visualized DNA replication in isogenic PSCs generated by different reprogramming approaches, either somatic cell nuclear transfer (NT-hESCs) or with defined factors (iPSCs). In PSCs with lower differentiation potential, DNA replication was incompletely reprogrammed, and genomic instability increased during replicative stress. Reprogramming of DNA replication did not correlate with DNA methylation. Instead, fewer replication origins and a higher frequency of DNA breaks in PSCs with incompletely reprogrammed DNA replication were found. Given the impact of error-free DNA synthesis on the genomic integrity and differentiation proficiency of PSCs, analyzing DNA replication may be a useful quality control tool.

Localization patterns of the ganglioside G M1 in human sperm are indicative of male fertility and independent of traditional semen measures. Mol Reprod Dev 2017; 84:423-435.

Abstract
Semen analysis lacks a functional component and best identifies extreme cases of infertility. The ganglioside GM1 is known to have functional roles during capacitation and acrosome exocytosis. Here, we assessed whether GM1 localization patterns (Cap‐Score™) correspond with male fertility in different settings: Study 1 involved couples pursuing assisted reproduction in a tertiary care fertility clinic, while Study 2 involved men with known fertility versus those questioning their fertility at a local urology center. In Study 1, we examined various thresholds versus clinical history for 42 patients; 13 had Cap‐Scores ≥39.5%, with 12 of these (92.3%) achieving clinical pregnancy by natural conception or ≤3 intrauterine insemination cycles. Of the 29 patients scoring <39.5%, only six (20.7%) attained clinical pregnancy by natural conception or ≤3 intrauterine insemination cycles. In Study 2, Cap‐Scores were obtained from 76 fertile men (Cohort 1, pregnant partner or recent father) and compared to 122 men seeking fertility assessment (Cohort 2). Cap‐Score values were normally distributed in Cohort 1, with 13.2% having Cap‐Scores more than one standard deviation below the mean (35.3 ± 7.7%). Significantly, more men in Cohort 2 had Cap‐Scores greater than one standard deviation below the normal mean (33.6%; p = 0.001). Minimal/no relationship was found between Cap‐Score and sperm concentration, morphology, or motility. Together, these data demonstrate that Cap‐Score provides novel, clinically relevant insights into sperm function and male fertility that complement traditional semen analysis. Furthermore, the data provide normal reference ranges for fertile men that can help clinicians counsel couples toward the most appropriate fertility treatment.
