Abstract excerpt
In the cell, DNA polymerase β (Polβ) is involved in many processes aimed at maintaining genome stability and is considered the main repair DNA polymerase participating in base excision repair (BER). Polβ can fill DNA gaps formed by other DNA repair enzymes. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the POLB gene can affect the enzymatic properties of the resulting protein, owing to possible amino acid...
