Abstract excerpt
The DNA repair proteins XPD and XRCC1 are involved in the nucleotide and base excision repair of DNA lesions induced by many tobacco and environmental carcinogens. Common variant alleles at the XPD (312Asn, 751Gln) and XRCC1 (399Gln) loci have been identified and associated with increased risk for lung cancer. We therefore investigated a possible effect of these variant alleles on the frequency and spectrum of...
