Abstract excerpt
EXO1 is a member of the RAD2 nuclease family and functions in DNA replication, repair and recombination. We investigated the relationship of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at exon 10 (T439M) and exon 13 (P757L) of the EXO1 gene with development, progression and metastasis of colorectal cancer. For T439M, the Thr/Met genotype [odds ratio (OR) = 2.03, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04-3.98] and Thr/Met and...
