Abstract excerpt
Sixteen candidate polymorphisms (13 SNPs and 3 microsatellites) in nine genes from four DNA repair pathways were examined in 83 subjects, comprising 23 survivors of childhood cancer, their 23 partners, and 37 offspring, all of whom had previously been studied for G(2) chromosomal radiosensitivity. Genotype at the Asp148Glu SNP site in the APEX gene of the base excision repair (BER) pathway was associated with...
