Abstract excerpt
DNA repair gene alterations have been shown to cause a reduction in DNA repair capacity and may influence an individual's susceptibility to carcinogenesis. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of DNA repair genes have been shown to cause a reduction in repair activity. We hypothesized that SNPs of DNA repair genes may be a risk factor for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). To test this hypothesis, DNA samples from 112...
