Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in several DNA repair genes have recently been identified, but little is known about their phenotypic significance. To determine whether variation in DNA repair genes is related to host DNA damage, we studied the association between polymorphisms in XRCC1 (codon 399) and ERCC2 (codon 751) and two markers of DNA damage, sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequencies (n = 76) and polyphenol DNA adducts...
