Aberrant DNA replication in cancer.
Mutation research - 1 Jan 2000
Suzuki Motoshi, Takahashi Takashi
Abstract excerpt
Genomic instability plays an important role in cancer susceptibility, though the mechanics of its development remain unclear. An often-stated hypothesis is that error-prone phenotypes in DNA replication or aberrations in translesion DNA synthesis lead to genomic instability and cancer. Mutations in core DNA replication proteins have been identified in human cancer, although DNA replication is essential for cell...
