Abstract excerpt
XRCC1 (X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1) is a base excision repair protein that plays a central role in the repair of DNA strand breaks and base damage from a variety of endogenous and exogenous oxidants including tobacco smoke. One genetic polymorphism (G-->A, Arg-->Gln at codon 399) occurs within a poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase binding region and within the central breast cancer susceptibility gene 1...
