Abstract excerpt
The etiology of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) has been shown to be associated with genetic and certain environmental factors that produce DNA damage. Base excision repair (BER) genes are responsible for repair of DNA damage caused by reactive oxygen species and other electrophiles and therefore are good candidate susceptibility genes for ESCC. We first screened eight BER genes for new and potential...
