Abstract excerpt
DNA repair capacity is essential in maintaining cellular functions and homeostasis. However, the repair capacity can be altered based on DNA sequence variations in DNA repair genes and thus may cause cancer susceptibility. We investigated associations between polymorphisms in DNA repair genes and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in a Thai population. Nine known single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in five...
