Abstract excerpt
Clustered DNA damage, when multiple lesions are generated in close proximity, has various biological consequences, including cell death, chromosome aberrations, and mutations. It is generally perceived as a hallmark of ionizing radiation. The enhanced mutagenic potential of lesions within a cluster has been suggested to result, at least in part, from the selection of the strand with the mutagenic lesion as the...
