Abstract excerpt
Genomic instability associated with deficiencies in mismatch repair (MMR) plays a critical role in tumorigenesis. Here we have investigated the contribution of oxidative damage to this instability in MMR-defective cells. Treatment with H(2)O(2) produced less cytotoxicity in MMR-deficient cells th...
