Abstract excerpt
The molecular defect of the hereditary disease Fanconi anemia (FA) remains unknown. The two theoretical possibilities are (1) an impaired DNA crosslink-repair system or (2) a disturbed oxygen metabolism either by overproduction of reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) or by diminished detoxification of ROI. In order to gain further insight into the molecular mechanism of this disease, we have determined the repair...
