Functional evaluation of DNA repair in human biopsies and their relation to other cellular biomarkers.

abstract：:Global microarray gene expression analyses previously demonstrated differences in female and male embryos during neurodevelopment. In particular, before sexual maturation of the gonads, the differences seem to concentrate on the expression of genes encoded on the X- and Y-chromosomes. To investigate genome-wide differ...
