8-Oxoguanine (8-hydroxyguanine, 8-oxo-Gua, or OH8Gua) is one of the most common DNA lesions resulting from reactive oxygen species [2] and can result in a mismatched pairing with Adenine resulting in G to T and C to A substitutions in the genome.[3] In humans, it is primarily repaired by the DNA glycosylase OGG1. It can be caused by ionizing radiation, in connection with oxidative metabolism.
