Abstract excerpt
Mutations in nucleotide excision repair (NER) genes in humans result in the UV-induced skin cancer-prone disease xeroderma pigmentosum (XP). Mouse models that mimic XP have provided an informative experimental system with which to study DNA repair, as well as the molecular pathology of UV radiation-induced skin cancer. We reported previously that mice defective in the Xpc gene (Xpc-/-) are highly predisposed to...
