Preferred Label : DNA Interstrand Cross-Link Repair;
NCIt synonyms : Repair of DNA Interstrand Cross-Links;
NCIt definition : DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) are very toxic to dividing cells, because they
induce mutations, chromosomal rearrangements and cell death. A number of multi-step
DNA repair pathways including nucleotide excision repair, homologous recombination
and post-replication/translesion repair all impinge on their repair.;
