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 کاملMy Journey to DNA Repair
I completed my medical studies at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm but have always been devoted to basic research. My longstanding interest is to understand fundamental DNA repair mechanisms in the fields of cancer therapy, inherited human genetic disorders and ancient DNA. I initially measured DNA decay, including rates of base loss and cytosine deamination. I have discovered several impo...
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.
متن کاملDNA repair
Chromatin is a highly dynamic structure regulated by different factors, such as ATPdependent remodeling complexes, incorporation of histone variants, post-translational modifications, and histones chaperones. During the DNA damage response, the chromatin architecture must be transiently and locally modified in order to regulate access to the DNA lesion. Chromatin remodeling at double-strand bre...
متن کاملThe path to DNA repair.
-The 1970-72 cancer mortality of Polish migrants to England and Wales is compared with the cancer mortality prevailing in England and Wales and in Poland. Small numbers limit the analyses to the most frequent cancer sites only. The main findings are: (a) Compared with mortality rates in both their country of birth and of adoption, Polish migrants displayed intermediate values for cancers of the...
