Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: DNA structural lesions are prevalent in sporadic colorectal cancer. Therefore, we proposed that gene variants that predispose to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) would be found in patients with familial colorectal carcinomas of an undefined genetic basis (UFCRC). METHODS: We collected primary T cells from 25 patients with UFCRC and matched patients without colorectal cancer (controls) and...
