Abstract excerpt
Sunlight causes various kinds of DNA damage, including oxidative lesions that are removed effectively by the base excision repair (BER) pathway, in which ADPRT, XRCC1 and APE1 play a key role. However, genetic variation in these genes may alter their functions. We hypothesized that ADPRT, XRCC1 and APE1 polymorphisms are associated with risk of cutaneous melanoma (CM). In a hospital-based case-control study of...
