Abstract excerpt
The base excision repair (BER) glycosylase MUTYH initiates repair of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (OG): adenine (A) mispairs to prevent G to T transversion mutations. Inherited biallelic mutations in MUTYH are correlated with the cancer predisposition syndrome MUTYH-associated polyposis (MAP) and contribute to an increased lifetime risk of colorectal cancer. Over 1000 germline and somatic MUTYH variants have been...
