Abstract excerpt
Excision repair cross-complementation group 2 (ERCC2) encodes the DNA helicase xeroderma pigmentosum group D, which functions in transcription and nucleotide excision repair. Point mutations in ERCC2 are putative drivers in around 10% of bladder cancers (BLCAs) and a potential positive biomarker for cisplatin therapy response. Nevertheless, the prognostic significance directly attributed to ERCC2 mutations and...
