Abstract excerpt
Genetic variability in DNA repair may contribute to hypersensitivity to ionizing radiation (IR) and susceptibility to breast cancer. We used samples collected from a clinic-based breast cancer case-control study to test the working hypothesis that amino acid substitution variants of DNA repair genes may contribute to prolonged cell-cycle delay following IR and breast cancer risk. Fluorescence-activated cell...
