War without weapons:constitution of healthy and pathological phenotypes associated with polymorphisms in genes involved in the maintenance of genome integrity [PDF]
Capacity to repair DNA damage may vary significantly between individuals coming out as healthy on routine physical and laboratory examinations. This variance does not generally cause distress or disease unless in case that specific triggers are present ...

The synergy between alkylating agents and ERCC1–XPF inhibitors is p53 dependent
Abstract Background DNA repair plays a major role in maintaining genomic stability, thus limiting the transformation of normal cells into cancer cells. However, in cancer patients treated with DNA‐targeting drugs, DNA repair can decrease efficacy by removing the damage generated by such molecules that is needed to induce pharmacological activity ...

Genome scan reveals several loci associated with torus palatinus
Abstract Objective Torus Palatinus (TP) is a common trait with an unclear aetiology. Although prior studies suggest a hereditary component, the genetic factors that influence TP risk remain unknown. The purpose of this study is to identify genetic variants associated with TP.

Peripheral Neuropathy in Cockayne's Syndrome [PDF]
A detailed study has been made of a typical case of Cockayne's syndrome. An associated peripheral neuropathy has been demonstrated by slow nerve conduction velocities and by evidence of segmental demyelination on sural nerve biopsy. Cockayne's syndrome is probably a leucodystrophy.

Genome-wide search for strabismus susceptibility loci. [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to search for chromosomal susceptibility loci for comitant strabismus. Genomic DNA was isolated from 10mL blood taken from each member of 30 nuclear families in which 2 or more siblings are affected by either esotropia or ...

Keep calm and reboot – how cells restart transcription after DNA damage and DNA repair
DNA damage not only inhibits transcription but also disrupts nucleolar architecture. Upon DNA repair, it is crucial to restore RNA polymerase 1 and 2 transcription as well as nucleolar structure for cell survival. However, the mechanisms for reinstating them are complex and involve various proteins and processes that are still not fully understood ...
