Title: | Genome Integrity and Neurological Disease | Authors: | SCHEIJEN, Elle WILSON, David |
Issue Date: | 2022 | Publisher: | MDPI | Source: | INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF MOLECULAR SCIENCES, 23 (8) , (Art N° 4142) | Abstract: | Neurological complications directly impact the lives of hundreds of millions of people worldwide. While the precise molecular mechanisms that underlie neuronal cell loss remain under debate, evidence indicates that the accumulation of genomic DNA damage and consequent cellular responses can promote apoptosis and neurodegenerative disease. This idea is supported by the fact that individuals who harbor pathogenic mutations in DNA damage response genes experience profound neuropathological manifestations. The review article here provides a general overview of the nervous system, the threats to DNA stability, and the mechanisms that protect genomic integrity while highlighting the connections of DNA repair defects to neurological disease. The information presented should serve as a prelude to the Special Issue "Genome Stability and Neurological Disease", where experts discuss the role of DNA repair in preserving central nervous system function in greater depth. | Notes: | Wilson, DM (corresponding author), Hasselt Univ, Biomed Res Inst, B-3590 Diepenbeek, Belgium. elle.scheijen@uhasselt.be; david.wilson@uhasselt.be |
