Down Syndrome 		0.010 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE As one of the hypotheses for the pathogenesis of brain damage in DS is oxidative stress and cells of patients with DS are more susceptible to ionizing irradiation, we decided to study ERCC2, ERCC3 and XRCC1, representatives of repair genes known to be involved in the repair of oxidative DNA-damage. mRNA steady state levels of ERCC2, ERCC3, XRCC1, a transcription activator (TAF-DBP) and an elongation factor (EF1A) were determined and normalized versus the housekeeping gene beta-actin in five individual brain regions of nine controls and nine DS patients. 10328528 1999
