Heavy Metal Exposure Influences Double Strand Break DNA Repair Outcomes.

Heavy Metal Exposure Influences Double Strand Break DNA Repair Outcomes.

Heavy metals such as cadmium, arsenic and nickel are classified as carcinogens. Although the precise mechanism of carcinogenesis is undefined, heavy metal exposure can contribute to genetic damage by inducing double strand breaks (DSBs) as well as inhibiting critical proteins from different DNA repa...
