XRCC1, a protein directly involved in the repair of DNA base damage, contains at least three common polymorphisms. One of these, the codon 399 arg-->gln variant, has been associated with several cancer-related biomarkers, suggesting it may have functional significance in exposure-induced cancers. However, results from case-control studies have yielded conflicting results. We investigated the XRCC1 arg399gln...
