Abstract excerpt
A tumorigenic role of the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway for the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) has been suggested by our finding of a significant association between increased breast cancer risk and a cooperative effect of single-nucleotide polymorphisms in NHEJ genes. To confirm this finding, this case-control study detected both in vivo and in vitro DNA end-joining (EJ) capacities in...
