Abstract excerpt
The transcript levels of nucleotide excision repair (NER) genes were shown to be associated with risk of squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck (SCCHN). However, this association may be biased, because the transcript level does not necessarily reflect the level of protein expression. To address this issue, we did a pilot study to test the hypothesis that the expression of six core NER proteins is...
