in functional ERCC3 paradoxically renders cells more sensitive to the genotoxic effects of oxidative stress while reducing the cytotoxic effects
Susceptibility for TTDA (trichothiodystrophy type A)
Variant & Polymorphism
  • genetic variation of ERCC3 may contribute to benzene-induced haemotoxicity at relatively low levels of benzene exposure
  • Candidate gene
  • influences recruitment and redistribution of NER proteins at sites of UV-induced DNA damage and thus may contribute to the markedly increased frequency of skin cancer in XP patients
  • Marker
    Therapy target
