DNA polymerase theta is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the POLQ gene.^[1]^[2] Current evidence suggests that this polymerase is involved in repair of DNA double-strand breaks in a process termed microhomology-mediated end joining (MMEJ) .^[3] Most double-strand breaks are repaired by non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) or homology directed repair (HDR). MMEJ is a variant of NHEJ, but differs in that it lacks a requirement for the Ku heterodimer, and involves DNA ends with 3′ single-stranded overhangs.^[4] Following annealing of short (i.e., a few nucleotides) regions on the DNA overhangs, DNA polymerase theta catalyzes template-dependent DNA synthesis across the broken ends, stabilizing the paired structure.^[5]^[6]
