Abstract excerpt
DNA single-strand breaks (SSBs) are the commonest DNA lesions that arise spontaneously in living cells. Cells employ efficient processes for the rapid repair of these breaks and defects in these processes appear to preferentially impact on the nervous system, causing human ataxia. Spinocerebellar ataxia with axonal neuropathy (SCAN1) is a human disease that is associated with a defect in repairing certain types...
