Abstract excerpt
Disruption of the DNA mismatch repair (MMR) pathway results in elevated mutation rates, inappropriate survival of cells bearing DNA damage, and increased cancer risk. Relatively little is known about the potential impact of environmentally relevant carcinogens on cancer risk in individuals with MMR-deficiency. We determined the effect of MMR status (Mlh1+/+ versus Mlh1-/-) on mutagenesis induced by the...
