Roles of BRCA1 in DNA damage repair: a link between development and cancer.
Human molecular genetics - 1 Apr 2003
Deng Chu-Xia, Wang Rui-Hong
Abstract excerpt
DNA damage causes devastating problems for developing organisms. Recent studies reveal that BRCA1 plays essential roles in homologous recombinational repair, non-homologous end joining, and nucleotide excision repair. BRCA1 mediates these functions by interaction with components of the DNA repair machinery and by regulating expression of genes that are involved in these DNA damage repair pathways. Consequently,...
