DNA damage in homocystinuria: 8-oxo‑,8‑dihydro‑2’-deoxyguanosine levels in cystathionine-β-synthase deficient patients and the in vitro protective effect of N-acetyl‑L‑cysteine

Introduction: Homocysteine (Hcy) tissue accumulation occurs in a metabolic disease characterized biochemically by cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) deficiency and clinically by mental retardation, vascular problems, and skeletal abnormalities. Previous studies indicate the occurrence of DNA damage seco...
