Abstract excerpt
X-ray repair cross-complementing gene 1 (XRCC1) is involved in base excision repair (BER) through interaction with other BER enzymes, and polymorphisms in XRCC1 appear to increase the risk of various cancers. We evaluated how three XRCC1 polymorphisms, Arg194Trp, Arg280His and Arg399Gln, affect the extent of DNA damage and repair using the micronucleus assay. XRCC1 cDNAs containing the wild-type sequence and the...
