Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Genetic predictive markers of radiosensitivity are being sought for stratifying radiotherapy for cancer patients and risk assessment of radiation exposure. We hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms in susceptible genes are associated with, and the number of risk alleles has incremental effect on, individual radiosensitivity. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Six amino acid substitution variants (ATM 1853...
