Genetic Investigation of Polymorphic OGG1 and MUTYH Genes Towards Increased Susceptibility in Lung Adenocarcinoma and its Impact on Overall Survival of Lung Cancer Patients Treated with Platinum Based Chemotherapy.

Abstract excerpt

Genes OGG1 and MUTYH are the two primary genes in Base excision repair pathway. OGG1 hydrolyzes the sugar phosphate backbone and remove the damaged base creating abasic site. MUTYH complements OGG1 as it particularly remove adenine mispaired with 8-oxo-G. Both OGG1 and MUTYH act as a check for the mis-incorporation of bases may be due to damages incurred on DNA. DNA isolation for 326 lung cancer cases and 330...
