How nucleotide excision repair protects against cancer.

Nature reviews. Cancer - 1 Oct 2001

Friedberg E C

Abstract excerpt

Eukaryotic cells can repair many types of DNA damage. Among the known DNA repair processes in humans, one type--nucleotide excision repair (NER)--specifically protects against mutations caused indirectly by environmental carcinogens. Humans with a hereditary defect in NER suffer from xeroderma pigmentosum and have a marked predisposition to skin cancer caused by sunlight exposure. How does NER protect against...
