Abstract excerpt
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is one of the most versatile DNA repair mechanisms, ensuring the proper functioning and trustworthy transmission of genetic information in all living cells. The phenotypic consequences caused by NER defects in humans are autosomal recessive diseases such as xeroderma pigmentosum (XP). This syndrome is the most sun-sensitive disorder leading to a high frequency of skin cancer. The...
