Abstract excerpt
Growing evidence suggests that the Thr241Met (T241M) polymorphism in the homologous recombination repair gene XRCC3 may alter DNA repair capacity and subsequent susceptibility to carcinogens. In a few studies of colorectal cancer (CRC), however, the results have been discrepant. A population-based nested case-control study including 140 cases and 280 cancer-free controls was conducted to evaluate the effect of...
