Low level of DNA repair in human chromosome 1 heterochromatin
1 Oct 1997
Abstract excerpt
Band 1q12 is a breakage prone region commonly involved in chromosome 1 rearrangements found in human cancer. We have investigated whether a lack of DNA repair can account for the observed 1q12 fragility. Ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS)-induced repair sites originating in G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle were converted to chromosome breaks by blocking the re-synthesis step of excision repair with cytosine arabinoside....
