Abstract excerpt
DNA glycosylases are enzymes that initiate base excision repair, a process of removal of damaged bases from the cellular DNA. Recent data show that variants of two human DNA glycosylases, MUTYH and OGG1, are associated with an increased risk of cancer. In addition, activities of various DNA glycosylases have been implicated in protection of humans from neurodegenerative diseases, immune disorders and viral...
