Abstract
⺠RAPADILINO syndrome is associated with mutations in RECQL4. ⺠We characterize RAPADILINO RECQL4's catalytic activities relative to WT RECQL4. ⺠We show that RAPADILINO RECQL4 lacks helicase and ssDNA-dependent ATPase activity. ⺠RAPADILINO and RTS patients may develop cancer due to loss of helicase activity.
