Rare hereditary diseases with defects in DNA-repair.

Abstract excerpt

The human genome is constantly exposed to various sources of DNA damage. Ineffective protection from this damage leads to genetic instability which can ultimately give rise to somatic disease, causing mutations. Therefore our organism commands a number of highly conserved and effective mechanisms responsible for DNA repair. If these repair mechanisms are defective due to germline mutations in relevant genes, rare...
