"exacerbates centromere rearrangements [ 54], indicating that there may be active mechanisms to suppress centromeric recombination and these may, at least in part, involve core centromeric proteins. Centromere alpha-satellite DNA is estimated to represent between 3% and 10% of the human genome [ 101], reviewed in [ 19]. During each round of replication, unperturbed cells suffer over 40 DNA DSBs [ 102], of which at least half are repaired by homologous recombination (HR) in S-phase and G2,",

"to this process. This led to the assumption that centromeres do not undergo recombination and that the repetitive arrays are maintained as stable. However, this clashed with the notion that centromeres very origin stems from recombination to create the repetitive array, where multiple short- and long-range recombination events may be responsible for the generation and reiteration of blocks of highly homogenized alpha-satellite DNA throughout the centromere [ 97,98]. Furthermore, in addition",
"of these DSBs through recombination-dependent pathways, such as homologous recombination (HR), may disrupt centromere integrity in several ways: (1) Crossover between sister chromatids will lead to sister chromatid exchange (SCE), which has been reported at human cent romeres. (2) Search for the homologous sequence may erroneously identify an identical or nearly identical sequence within the same chromatid downstream or upstream of the break site.

"answer": "Recombination in human centromeres is generally suppressed, making these regions \"cold\" to recombination events [2]. This suppression is thought to be actively maintained by core centromeric proteins [3]. Despite this, there is evidence suggesting that centromeres can undergo recombination, particularly through mechanisms that involve homologous recombination (HR) during DNA repair processes [6]. For instance, crossover between sister chromatids, known as sister chromatid exchange (SCE), has been reported at human centromeres [6]. Additionally, centromeres may experience recombination during a single round of cell division in primary human cells [8]. This indicates that while recombination is generally suppressed in centromeres, it can still occur under certain conditions, potentially impacting centromere integrity and stability [5], [6], [8].",
