Abstract excerpt
Nucleotide-excision repair (NER) and mismatch repair (MMR) are prominent examples of highly conserved DNA repair systems which recognize and replace damaged and/or mispaired nucleotides in DNA. In humans, inheritable defects in components of the NER system are associated with severe diseases such as xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) and Cockayne syndrome (CS), whereas inactivation of MMR is accompanied by predisposition...
