Low levels of DNA repair enzyme NEIL2 May exacerbate inflammation and genomic damage in subjects with stable COPD and during severe exacerbations

Abstract Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory airway disease that is an independent risk factor for lung cancer. Reduction in NEIL2 function, a DNA glycosylase involved in DNA repair during transcription, has been associated with an increased incidence of...
