Abstract excerpt
oh8Gua glycosylase repairs DNA by removing oh8Gua, a highly mutagenic oxidative DNA adduct. Recently, the gene for human oh8Gua glycosylase (hOGG1) was cloned and several mutational types have been reported. However, the implications of such mutations in human cancer have not been clearly demonstrated. To test the involvement of hOGG1 mutation in colon carcinogenesis, we analysed the genetic changes of hOGG1 and...
