Abstract excerpt
DNA repair is essential for the maintenance of genomic integrity. Consequently, altered repair capacity may impact individual health in such areas as aging and susceptibility to certain diseases. Defects in some DNA repair genes, for example, have been shown to increase cancer risk, accelerate aging and impair neurological functions. Now that over 115 genes directly involved in human DNA repair have been...
