DNA hypomethylation in radiosensitivity and genomic stability

Exposure to ionising radiation can result in genome destabilisation. Genomic instability is observed in many cancers and is thought to lead to tumourigenesis. A correlation between genomic instability and global hypomethylation, another common feature of tumour cells, has been demonstrated and attri...
