Direct and indirect roles of RECQL4 in modulating base excision repair capacity (2009)

Schurman, Shepherd H., Hedayati, Mohammad, Wang, ZhengMing, Singh, Dharmendra K., Speina, Elzbieta, Zhang, Yongqing, ...

RECQL4 is a human RecQ helicase which is mutated in approximately two-thirds of individuals with Rothmund–Thomson syndrome (RTS), a disease characterized at the cellular level by chromosomal...

MC1R, ASIP, and DNA Repair in Sporadic and Familial Melanoma in a Mediterranean Population (2005)

Landi, Maria Teresa, Kanetsky, Peter A., Tsang, Shirley, Gold, Bert, Munroe, David, Rebbeck, Timothy, ...

Background: Melanoma risk factors include fair pigmentation, multiple nevi, low DNA repair capacity, and CDKN2A or CDK4 mutations. Variants of the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) gene have been...

DNA Repair, Dysplastic Nevi, and Sunlight Sensitivity in the Development of Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma (2002)

Landi, Maria Teresa, Baccarelli, Andrea, Tarone, Robert E., Pesatori, Angela, Tucker, Margaret A., Hedayati, Mohammad, ...

Background: Exposure to UV radiation is associated with cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM). In mammalian cells, UV radiation induces DNA damage that can be repaired by the nucleotide excision repair...

Association of chromosome 19q13.2-3 haplotypes with basal cell carcinoma: tentative delineation of an involved region using data for single nucleotide polymorphisms in two cohorts (2002)

Rockenbauer, Eszter, Bendixen, Mette H., Bukowy, Zuzanna, Yin, Jiaoyang, Jacobsen, Nicklas R., Hedayati, Mohammad, ...

We have previously used single nucleotide polymorphisms to detect an association of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) in Caucasian Americans and Danes with the genome region 19q13.2-3, which contains...

Modulation of repair of ultraviolet damage in the host-cell reactivation assay by polymorphic XPC and XPD/ERCC2 genotypes (2002)

Qiao, Yawei, Spitz, Margaret R., Shen, Hongbing, Guo, Zhaozheng, Shete, Sanjay, Hedayati, Mohammad, ...

DNA repair capacity (DRC) plays an important role in genetic susceptibility to cancer. Polymorphisms of a number of DNA repair genes involved in several distinct pathways have been identified....

Polymorphisms of the DNA repair gene XPD: correlations with risk of basal cell carcinoma revisited (2001)

Vogel, Ulla, Hedayati, Mohammad, Dybdahl, Marianne, Grossman, Lawrence, Nexø, Bjørn Andersen

The XPD gene product has a dual function in basal transcription and in nucleotide excision repair. We have previously reported that two polymorphisms in the gene, one silent mutation in codon 156 of...

A new xeroderma pigmentosum group C poly(AT) insertion/deletion polymorphism (2000)

Khan, Sikandar G., Metter, E.Jeffrey, Tarone, Robert E., Bohr, Vilhelm A., Grossman, Lawrence, Hedayati, Mohammad, ...

We found a common biallelic polymorphism (PAT) in the xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group C (XPC) DNA repair gene consisting of an insertion of 83 bases of A and T [poly(AT)] and a...
