Abstract excerpt
DNA damage plays a major role in mutagenesis, carcinogenesis and aging. A gene that is emerging as an essential element in the repair of both damaged bases and single-strand breaks (SSB) is XRCC1. XRCC1 has been shown to have a large number of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), several of which are being increasingly studied in cancer epidemiology investigations, in part because of their relative high...
