Abstract excerpt
Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been correlated with elevated levels of oxidative DNA damage. Base excision repair (BER) is the main repair pathway for the removal of oxidative DNA base modifications. We have recently found significant functional deficiencies in BER in brains of sporadic AD and amnestic mild cognitive impairment patients. In this study we tested whether altered BER activities are associated with...
