Abstract excerpt
The ERCC1 gene is essential for the repair of UV-induced DNA damage. Unlike most genes in the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway, ERCC1 is also involved in recombinational repair. Perhaps for this reason, ERCC1 knockout mice are not a model for the human NER deficiency disorder, xeroderma pigmentosum. Instead, ERCC1 null mice are severely runted and die before weaning from liver failure with accelerated...
