Abstract excerpt
Epidemiological data has implicated heterozygosity for xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) as a risk factor for lung cancer. XP has 8 known complementation groups, 7 of which are caused by mutations in genes encoding components of the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. To formally investigate the role of XP-related NER genes in lung cancer susceptibility, we screened germline DNA from 92 familial early-onset lung...
