Abstract excerpt
8-Hydroxyguanine (8-OH-G) is an oxidatively damaged guanine base that causes G:C to T:A transversion mutations. To counteract the mutagenicity of 8-OH-G in DNA, humans possess the hOGG1 gene, which encodes 8-OH-G DNA glycosylase. Interestingly, genetic polymorphisms at codon 326 (hOGG1-Ser326 versus hOGG1-Cys326) and at codon 46 (hOGG1-Arg46 versus hOGG1-Gln46) exist in human populations. hOGG1-Ser326 and -Cys326...
