Abstract excerpt
8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1) is a DNA repair enzyme that excises 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8oxoG) from DNA. Since 8oxoG is a highly mispairing lesion, decreased OGG1 expression level could lead to a higher background mutation frequency and could possibly increase the cancer risk of an individual under oxidative stress. In order to analyse the natural variation of OGG1, we measured the DNA repair activity...
