Abstract excerpt
Individuals differ in their ability to repair DNA damage induced by carcinogens. Studies have shown that polymorphisms in DNA repair genes contribute to individual variation in DNA repair capacity and cancer risk. In a hospital-based case-control study, we tested the hypothesis that a C to T variant (Thr241Met) of DNA repair gene X-ray repair cross-complementing group 3 (XRCC3) is associated with risk of...
