Abstract excerpt
The role of DNA repair in initiation, promotion, and progression of malignancy suggests that variations in DNA repair genes confer altered cancer risk. Accordingly, DNA repair gene variants have been studied extensively in the context of cancer predisposition. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common genetic variations in the human genome. A fraction of SNPs are located within the genes, which...
