A specific point mutation (46BR in the mouse Lig1 gene) in DNA ligase I has also been linked as a cause for genome instability and cancer in humans. One possible reason for this is the accumulation of DNA fragments that are no longer ligated by the mutant DNA ligase I enzyme. | A specific point mutation (46BR in the mouse Lig1 gene) in DNA ligase I has also been linked as a cause for genome instability and cancer in humans.
