An Msh2 Point Mutation Uncouples DNA Mismatch Repair and Apoptosis
15 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the human DNA mismatch repair gene MSH2 are associated with hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer as well as a significant proportion of sporadic colorectal cancer. The inactivation of MSH2 results in the accumulation of somatic mutations in the genome of tumor cells and resistance to the genotoxic effects of a variety of chemotherapeutic agents. Here we show that the DNA repair and DNA...
