Abstract excerpt
The poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP/ADPRT) protein family catalyzes the synthesis of cellular poly(ADP-ribose) following DNA damage and is involved in genomic integrity by regulating cellular responses to DNA damage and apoptosis. Moreover, ADPRT inhibition contributes to a protective effect against cancer development. These findings render ADPRT an attractive candidate susceptibility gene for breast cancer,...
