Genetic variability in DNA repair genes may contribute to differences in DNA repair capacity and susceptibility to cancer, especially in the presence of exposures such as smoking. In a Minnesota-based case-control study of cases with only adenomatous polyps (n = 384), only hyperplastic polyps (n = 191), or both types of polyps (n = 119) versus polyp-free controls (n = 601), we investigated the role of...
