Abstract excerpt
A wide range of DNA lesions, both UV and chemically induced, are dealt with by the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. Defects in NER result in human syndromes such as xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), where there is a 1000-fold increased incidence of skin cancer. The ERCC1 protein is essential for NER, but ERCC1 knockout mice are not a model for XP. In the absence of exogenous DNA-damaging agents, these mice are...
