Abstract excerpt
Adenosine diphosphate ribosyl transferase (ADPRT) and X-ray repair cross-complementing 1 (XRCC1) are two major DNA base excision repair (BER) proteins and act interactively in stimulating and executing BER processes. Polymorphisms of ADPRT Val762Ala and XRCC1 Arg399Gln have been associated with altered protein function and BER activity. This case-control study examined the contribution of these two polymorphisms,...
