Abstract excerpt
The MUTYH gene encodes a DNA glycosylase that can initiate the excision repair of adenine mispaired with 8-hydroxyguanine (8OHG) and is responsible for a susceptibility to multiple colorectal adenomas and carcinomas. To determine whether the MUTYH gene is involved in gastric carcinogenesis, we first examined the expression level of MUTYH in gastric cancer. The reduced expression of MUTYH mRNA transcript was...
