Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: DNA repair enzymes play a vital role in protecting the genome from carcinogens, several of which can cause mutations in the TP53 gene in bladder cancer. Some single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair genes reportedly modulate the repair capacity. This study aimed to clarify the effect of these functional SNPs on the alteration of p53 in muscle-invasive bladder cancer. METHODS: We...
