Abstract excerpt
Clusters of DNA damage, also called multiply damaged sites (MDS), are a signature of ionizing radiation exposure. They are defined as two or more lesions within one or two helix turns, which are created by the passage of a single radiation track. It has been shown that the clustering of DNA damage compromises their repair. Unresolved repair may lead to the formation of double-strand breaks (DSB) or the induction...
