NER plays an important role in remediating DNA damage. Latimer et al., have previously shown nucleotideexcision repair (NER) to be intrinsically deficient in stage I sporadic BC by function and gene expression. Previous work performed on 12 isogenically matched stage I tumors and non-tumor adjacent (NTA) samples identified 2 types of NTA tissue with regard to functional NER. One type that represented 75% ofthe samples, had lower NER capacity, similar to the tumor (Low: Low pair). The other type had high NER relative to the tumor (High: Low pair). Two isogenic NTA/tumor cell line pairs representing these 2 types ofNTA …
