Abstract excerpt
Tobacco smoke produces oxidative and alkylative DNA damage that necessitates repair by base excision repair coordinated by X-ray cross-complementing gene 1 (XRCC1). We investigated whether polymorphisms in XRCC1 alter DNA repair capacity and modify breast cancer risk associated with smoking. To show the functionality of the 280His variant, we evaluated single-strand break (SSB) repair capacity of isogenic Chinese...
