Abstract excerpt
Two DNA polymorphisms in the XRCC1 gene, a microsatellite repeat region in the 3' un-translated region (3'UTR) of the gene and a G-->A substitution resulting in an Arg to Gln amino acid change in codon 399, were examined in 189 newborns who had previously been studied for glycophorin A (GPA) N0 and NN variant frequencies (Vfs) in cord blood erythrocytes. The GPA analysis had revealed that 14 of the 189 had...
