Abstract:

The DNA mismatch repair (MMR) pathway maintains genomic stability and reduces cancer risk (colorectal and other internal cancers) by correcting polymerase errors and activating cell cycle checkpoints and apoptosis in response to DNA damage. Few studies have examined the influence of commonly encountered environmental mutagens/carcinogens on the etiology of MMR-deficient...
