DNA repair of oxidative DNA damage in human carcinogenesis: Potential application for cancer risk assessment and prevention

Efficient DNA repair mechanisms comprise a critical component in the protection against human cancer, as indicated by the high predisposition to cancer of individuals with germ-line mutations in DNA repair genes. This includes biallelic germ-line mutations in the MUTYH gene, encoding a DNA glycosyla...
