Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Base excision repair (BER) is a highly conserved essential mechanism for maintaining genome integrity. We examined associations among four well-characterized polymorphisms of BER genes (OGG1 Ser326Cys, XRCC1 Arg194Trp, XRCC1 Arg280His, and XRCC1 Arg399Gln) and lung cancer risk. METHODS: A total of 2188 patients with lung cancer and 2198 control subjects without lung cancer recruited at 15 centers in...
