Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the human APEX and OGG1 genes, encoding proteins important in base excision repair (BER) of DNA, contain nucleotide sequence polymorphisms or are mutated somatically in tumors from women diagnosed with ovarian or endometrial cancer.
