Abstract excerpt
DNA repair efficiency varies among individuals, with reduced repair capacity as a risk factor for various cancers. This variability could be partly explained by allelic variants for different DNA repair genes. We examined the role of a common polymorphism in the XRCC3 gene (codon 241: threonine to methionine change) and bladder cancer risk. This gene plays a role in the homologous recombination pathway, which...
