Abstract excerpt
Previous studies suggested that suboptimal DNA repair capacity is associated with cancer risk and that the Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln polymorphisms in the xeroderma pigmentosum complementary group D (XPD) gene may influence DNA repair capacity. We therefore tested the hypothesis that these two XPD polymorphisms are associated with susceptibility to lung cancer in a hospital-based, case-control study in a Chinese...
