Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Adenine paired with 8-hydroxyguanine, a major oxidatively damaged DNA lesion, is excised by mutY homologue (MYH) base excision repair protein in human cells. Since genetic polymorphisms of DNA repair genes associated with the activities and the expression levels of their products may modulate cancer susceptibility of individuals, we investigated the effect of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in...
