Abstract excerpt
Cells from patients with xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) variant are thought to be defective in postreplication repair. This DNA repair pathway is not well defined in human cells and the exact genetic defect of XP variant is unknown. In another cancer-prone hereditary disorder, hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer, tumors are characterized by a DNA mismatch repair defect with microsatellite instability. Since there...
