Abstract excerpt
Excision repair cross complementation group 1 (ERCC1) is an important protein in the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway, which is responsible for removing DNA adducts induced by platinum based compounds. The heterodimer ERCC1-XPF is one of two endonucleases required for NER. Genetic variations or polymorphisms in ERCC1 gene alter DNA repair capacity. Reduced DNA repair (NER) capacity may result in tumors...
