Abstract excerpt
In an attempt to evaluate the role of the Xpc gene in maintaining genomic stability in vivo under normal conditions, the age-dependent accumulation of spontaneous mutations in different tissues was analyzed in Xpc-deficient lacZ-transgenic mice. Brain, testis, and small intestine revealed no effects from the Xpc-deficiency, whereas liver, spleen, heart, and lung showed an enhanced age-related accumulation of...
