Abstract excerpt
Maintenance of genomic stability is essential for cellular survival. The base excision repair (BER) pathway is critical for resolution of abasic sites and damaged bases, estimated to occur 20,000 times in cells daily. DNA polymerase β (Pol β) participates in BER by filling DNA gaps that result from excision of damaged bases. Approximately 30% of human tumours express Pol β variants, many of which have altered...
