Abstract excerpt
Inflammation-associated oxidative stress and DNA damage are involved in malignant transformation of cholangiocytes. Defective DNA repair mechanisms may predispose to cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) formation, and an elevated CCA risk for MutY human homologue (MUTYH) germline mutation carriers has been proposed previously. The aim of this study was to re-evaluate the MUTYH hotspot mutations p.Y179C (rs34612342) and...
