ABSTRACT:
This invention provides isolated nucleic acids which encode a wildtype and a mutant human homolog of RAD9. This invention also provides purified and mutant wildtype human homologs of RAD9. This invention also provides methods for determining whether a subject has radiosensitivity; for predicting the effect of radiation therapy or chemotherapy on a subject; for detecting whether a subject has a predisposition to cancer; for treating a subject who is radiosensitive and for preventing or treating cancer in a subject who is radiosensitive.
