No cancer predisposition or increased spontaneous mutation frequencies in NEIL DNA glycosylases-deficient mice

Abstract Base excision repair (BER) is a major pathway for removal of DNA base lesions and maintenance of genomic stability, which is essential in cancer prevention. DNA glycosylases recognize and remove specific lesions in the first step of BER. The existence of a number of these enzymes with overl...
