The study goal was to examine the association of three polymorphisms in the XRCC1 gene (Arg194Trp, Arg280His, and Arg399Gln) involved in repairing DNA damage produced by ionizing radiation, a known breast cancer (BC) risk factor, with BC incidence and the possibility of developing an adverse radiotherapy response. Genomic DNA from 254 BC cases, 70 of whom were adverse radiotherapy responders [radiation-sensitive...
