Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: DNA polymerase is a single-copy gene that is considered to be part of the DNA repair machinery in mammalian cells. The encoded enzyme is a key to the base excision repair (BER) pathway. It is evident that pol beta has mutations in various cancer samples, but little is known about ovarian cancer. AIM: Identification of any variant form of polβ cDNA in ovarian carcinoma and determination of association...
