Abstract excerpt
DNA ligases catalyze the joining of single and double-strand DNA breaks, which is an essential step in DNA replication, recombination and repair. Recently, a common single nucleotide polymorphism (A-->C) in exon 6 of DNA ligase I (LIG1) was identified, but its functional relevance remains to be d...
