Spontaneous liver tumors and Benzo[a]pyrene-induced lymphomas in XPA-deficient mice
1 May 1997
Abstract excerpt
Defects in the xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A-correcting (XPA) gene, which encodes a component of the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway, are associated with the cancer-prone human disease xeroderma pigmentosum.
