Abstract excerpt
Intriguingly, all 10 breast cancer susceptibility genes known today are directly or indirectly related to DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair suggesting a critical role of DSB repair dysfunction in the etiology of this tumor entity. We and others had previously provided evidence indicating that the breast cancer susceptibility gene product p53 controls DSB repair. Experiments with ectopically expressed proteins...
