Abstract excerpt
DNA in most cells is regularly damaged by endogenous and exogenous mutagens. Unrepaired damage can result in apoptosis or may lead to unregulated cell growth and cancer. Inheritance of genetic variants at one or more loci results in reduced DNA repair capacity. This hospital-based case-control study examined whether polymorphisms in the DNA repair gene X-ray repair cross-complementing groups 1 (XRCC1)...
