Abstrakt: Transcriptionally activity-dependent heterogeneity of gamma-induced DNA single-strand break repair in ataxia-telangiectasia cells has been investigated. It is found that in AT cells no increased induction of damage in the c-myc gene compares with normal human fibroblasts. At the same time an evident defect of preferential accelerated repair of single-strand breaks in the c-myc gene was observed. DNA single-strand breaks repair in human satellite III and total DNA single-strand breaks in c-myc gene in AT cells correlate with increased radiosensitivity of cells.
