Reduced host cell reactivation of oxidative DNA damage in human cells deficient in the mismatch repair gene hMSH2
9 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
Germ line mutations in the mismatch repair (MMR) genes hMSH2 and hMLH1 account for approximately 98% of hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancers. In addition, there is increasing evidence for an involvement of MMR gene expression in the response of cells to UV-induced skin cancer. The link between MMR and skin cancer suggests an involvement of MMR gene expression in the response of skin cells to UV-induced DNA...
