Transcription-coupled repair of endogenous DNA damage appears crucial for the maintenance of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Ercc1 is essential for nucleotide excision repair and is also involved in recombination repair and the repair of interstrand cross-links. We have investigated the neurological phenotype of Ercc1-deficient mice where the liver dysfunction has been corrected by an Ercc1 transgene...
