Abstract excerpt
Mediator of DNA damage checkpoint protein 1 (MDC1) serves as a docking platform to promote the localization of various DNA damage response (DDR) components to DNA double-strand break (DSB) sites. MDC1 is vital in controlling proper DDR and maintaining genomic stability. In cancers, genomic instability results from mutations in DNA repair genes and drives cancer development. The mutations of MDC1 in human cancers...
