Our cells constantly receive DNA damage from factors such as ultraviolet rays, irradiations, toxins and chemicals. For women, that can lead to poor egg quality, which in turn can cause infertility, ...

If these DNA breaks aren't repaired, they can prompt cells to self-destruct, or failing that, become cancerous.As LIG4 syndrome impairs this response, people with the condition are particularly ...
