Characteristic mutations induced in the small intestine of Msh2-knockout gpt delta mice

Abstract Background Base pair mismatches in genomic DNA can result in mutagenesis, and consequently in tumorigenesis. To investigate how mismatch repair deficiency increases mutagenicity under oxidative stress, we examined the type and frequency of mutations arising in the mucosa of the small intest...
