Abstract excerpt
Biallelic mutations in the base excision repair gene Mut Y homologue (MUTYH) are responsible for variable recessively inherited phenotypes of polyposis. Beside MUTYH, the proteins 8-oxo-guanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1) and MTH1 (or NUDT1) are also involved in the repair of 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxo-G), previous studies, however, only found missense mutations of unclear pathogenicity in either MTH1 or OGG1. To...
