Abstract excerpt
MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP) is a colorectal cancer syndrome, due to biallelic mutations of MUTYH. This Base Excision Repair gene encodes for a DNA glycosylase that specifically mitigates the high mutagenic potential of the 8-hydroxyguanine (8-oxodG) along the DNA. Aim of this study was to characterize the biological effects, in a mammalian cell background, of human MUTYH mutations identified in MAP patients...
