Abstract excerpt
We performed genetic association studies in a population-based breast cancer case-control study analysing polymorphisms in genes involved in homologous recombination (NBS1, RAD52, RAD51, XRCC2 and XRCC3) and non-homologous end-joining (KU70/80 and LIG4). These DNA double-strand break repair genes are candidates for breast cancer susceptibility. Genotype results were available for up to 2205 cases and 1826...
