Abstract excerpt
DNA damage is important in the pathogenesis of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EA). Polymorphic variants in DNA repair genes may be modifiers of the risk of EA through their role in altering human host response to gastroesophageal acid reflux, a well-described risk factor for EA. We studied the role of genetic polymorphisms of two key DNA repair genes, xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) (Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln) in...
