Abstract excerpt
8-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanine (8-OHdG) is produced by the oxidative stress-induced damage in DNA, which could pair with adenine (A) during DNA replication, leading to G-T transversion mutations. Glycosylase hOGG1 can recognize and excise oxidized guanines from duplex DNA. This work aims to investigate the relationship between the functional variations in 5-untranslated region (5'-UTR) of hOGG1 gene and the risk of...
