Evaluation of ATM heterozygous mutations underlying individual differences in radiosensitivity using genome editing in human cultured cells
Abstract Ionizing radiation (IR) induces DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), which are an initial step towards chromosomal aberrations and cell death. It has been suggested that there are individual differences in radiosensitivity within human populations, and that the variations in DNA repair genes mi...
