Relationship of DNA repair to carcinogenesis in xeroderma pigmentosum.
Radioautograms of intact ultraviolet (UV)-irradiated epider mis from a patient with xeroderma pigmentosum showed no detectable abnormality in UV-induced thymidine-3H incorpo ration. This result is consistent with findings in this patient's UV-irradiated skin fibroblasts and lymphocytes and contrasts with findings in cells from typical xeroderma pigmentosum patients, all of which exhibit an impa...
متن کاملDNA repair diseases: What do they tell us about cancer and aging?
The discovery of DNA repair defects in human syndromes, initially in xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) but later in many others, led to striking observations on the association of molecular defects and patients' clinical phenotypes. For example, patients with syndromes resulting from defective nucleotide excision repair (NER) or translesion synthesis (TLS) present high levels of skin cancer in areas e...
متن کاملRequirement for functional DNA polymerase eta in genome-wide repair of UV-induced DNA damage during S phase.
The autosomal recessive disorder Xeroderma pigmentosum-variant (XPV) is characterized (i) at the cellular level by dramatic hypermutability and defective recovery of DNA synthesis following UV exposure, and (ii) clinically by abnormal sunlight sensitivity and remarkable predisposition to skin cancer. These phenotypes are clearly attributable to germline mutations in POLH, encoding DNA polymeras...
متن کاملThe role of Ile3434Thr XRCC7 gene polymorphism in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer risk in an Iranian population
Background: The aim of this study was to understand any association between differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) and Ile3434Thr XRCC7 gene polymorphism (GenBank accession number: rs7830743). DTC is the most prevalent thyroid neoplasm, which includes papillary and follicular cell carcinoma. XRCC7 gene encodes a protein that functions in non-homologous end joining DNA repair pathway. Non-synony...
متن کاملHypersensitivity of skin fibroblasts from basal cell nevus syndrome patients to killing by ultraviolet B but not by ultraviolet C radiation.
Basal cell nevus syndrome (BCNS) is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder in which the afflicted individuals are extremely susceptible to sunlight-induced skin cancers, particularly basal cell carcinomas. However, the cellular and molecular basis for BCNS is unknown. To ascertain whether there is any relationship between genetic predisposition to skin cancer and increased sensitivity of somati...
