Abstract excerpt
APE1 (apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1) and XRCC1 (X-ray cross-complementing group 1) are DNA repair proteins that play important roles in the base excision repair (BER) pathway. Polymorphisms in their encoding genes are associated with altered DNA repair capacity and thus may impact on cance...
