Abstract excerpt
Histones are essential for maintaining chromatin structure and function. Histone mutations lead to changes in chromatin compaction, gene expression, and the recruitment of DNA repair proteins to the DNA lesion. These disruptions can impair critical DNA repair pathways, such as homologous recombination and non-homologous end joining, resulting in increased genomic instability, which promotes an environment...
