base excision repair

[′bās ek′siz·zhən ri‚per]

(cell molecular)

A deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair system in which an altered base is removed from the sugar backbone by action of a specific DNA glycolase and then the abasic sugar is removed by apurinic/apyrimidic (AP) lyase and AP endonuclease, leaving a one-nucleotide gap that is then filled in and ligated.
