DNA-Repair Capacity in Down\'s Syndrome
Down's syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal abnormality in human. Subjects with DS are known to be peridisposed to develop leukemia. The molecular basis of the association between DS and leukemia is unknown. The unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) test measure the ability of DNA-repair in mammalian cells after excision of a stretch of DNA containing the region of damage induced by chemical ...
متن کاملTrue Lies: The Double Life of the Nucleotide Excision Repair Factors in Transcription and DNA Repair
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is a major DNA repair pathway in eukaryotic cells. NER removes structurally diverse lesions such as pyrimidine dimers, arising upon UV irradiation or bulky chemical adducts, arising upon exposure to carcinogens and some chemotherapeutic drugs. NER defects lead to three genetic disorders that result in predisposition to cancers, accelerated aging, neurological an...
متن کاملOGG1 DNA Repair Gene Polymorphism As a Biomarker of Oxidative and Genotoxic DNA Damage
Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms in 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1) gene modulates DNA repair capacity and functions as one of the first lines of protective mechanisms against 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) mutagenicity. OGG1-Cys326 gene polymorphism may decrease DNA repair function, causing oxidative stress due to higher oxidative DNA damage. The main purpose of this stu...
متن کاملProgram Repair without Regret
We present a new and flexible approach to repair reactive programs with respect to a specification. The specification is given in linear-temporal logic. Like in previous approaches, we aim for a repaired program that satisfies the specification and is syntactically close to the faulty program. The novelty of our approach is that it produces a program that is also semantically close to the origi...
متن کاملDNA Repair.
DNA is constantly damaged by various endogenous and exogenous events. Repair systems constantly scan the genome for DNA lesions and replace damaged and mismatched bases, which finally enables the complex DNA double strand to store genetic information. This year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to pioneers in this field, T. Lindahl, P. Modrich, and A. Sancar.
