Abstract excerpt
O6-alkylguanine-DNA alkyltransferase (MGMT) is a universal DNA repair protein involved in the DNA direct reversal repair pathway that copes with alkylating carcinogens. Reduced MGMT expression as well as enzyme activity may result in an increased susceptibility to cancers. To elucidate the role of sequence variation in MGMT in the etiology of lung cancer, we conducted a comprehensive association study focusing on...
