Abstract excerpt
DNA lesions caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) are considered to be one of the major contributors to DNA damage and mutagenesis. In this study, we developed a modification of allele-specific PCR to detect CC-->TT mutations caused by oxidative damage. These tandem mutations have been previously demonstrated to be indicative of oxygen damage in the absence of UV-irradiation. Using a CC target site in the rat...
