Chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes DNA damage. An arginine (Arg)-to-glutamine (Gln) polymorphism at codon 399 in the XRCC1 gene is putatively associated with DNA damage. In a case-control study of 577 HBV surface antigen carriers with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and 389 HBV carrier control subjects, we investigated the association between this polymorphism and the risk of HCC and assessed...
