Abstract excerpt
Using a sigmoidoscopy-based case-control study (753 cases, 799 controls) in Los Angeles County, we investigated the potential modifier role in the effect of alcohol and smoking of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in three DNA repair genes, XRCC1 (Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln), XRCC3 (Thr241Met), and XPD (Lys751Gln). We have previously reported an inverse association between the XRCC1 codon 399 SNP and adenoma...
