Abstract excerpt
Mutations in one of the DNA repair genes are one of the most common reasons for cancer, and it may be assumed that the individual genetic background modulating the DNA repair capacity may affect the susceptibility to cancer. Numerous polymorphisms (mainly SNPs) have been identified for DNA repair genes, although their functional outcome and phenotypic effect is often unknown. The aim of the present review is to...
