Contribution of DNA polymerase eta to immunoglobulin gene hypermutation in the mouse.

Description : The mutation pattern of immunoglobulin genes was studied in mice deficient for DNA polymerase eta, a translesional polymerase whose inactivation is responsible for the xeroderma pigmentosum variant (XP-V) syndrome in humans. Mutations show an 85% G/C biased pattern, similar to that reported for XP-V...
