Abstract excerpt
The ERCC2 protein is an evolutionary conserved ATP-dependent helicase that is associated with a TFIIH transcription factor complex and plays an important role in nucleotide excision repair. Mutations in this gene are responsible for xeroderma pigmentosum and also for Cocayne syndrome and trichothiodystrophy. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms have been identified in the ERCC2 locus. Among them, a G23591A...
