Abstract

Cellular DNA repair enzyme activity has been found to be an indicator of susceptibility or predisposition of an individual to DNA associated diseases. The activity of the enzyme adenosine diphosphate ribosyl transferase (ADPRT) has been found to be a good indicator as to the susceptibility of an individual to DNA associated diseases, such as cancer.
