摘要
All living organisms are constantly exposed to endogenous or exogenous agents that can cause damage to the genomic DNA, leading to the loss of stable genetic information. Fortunately, all cells are equipped with numerous classes of DNA repair pathways which are able to correct many kinds of DNA damage such as bulky adducts, oxidative lesions, single- and double-strand breaks and mismatches. The importance of these DNA repair processes is attested by the existence of several rare but dramatic hereditary diseases caused by defects in one of these repair pathways. These diseases are usually associated with early onset of malignancies confirming the direct relationship between unrepaired DNA lesions, mutations or chromosomal modifications and cancer incidence. Among these hereditary diseases the UV-hypersensitive ones have been particularly well studied and the xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) is probably the best known syndrome up to now in terms of genetics and biochemistry.
