Abstract excerpt
Genetic polymorphisms in double-strand break repair genes may influence DNA repair capacity and, in turn, confer predisposition to breast cancer. We prospectively assessed the associations of candidate polymorphisms G31479A (R188H) in XRCC2, A4541G (5'-UTR), A17893G (IVS5-14) and C18067T (T241 M) in XRCC3, and C299T (5'-UTR) and T1977C (D501D) in Ligase IV with breast cancer risk in a nested case-control study...
