Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Common polymorphism in DNA repair genes may alter protein function and an individual's capacity to repair damaged DNA; deficits in repair capacity may lead to genetic instability and carcinogenesis. AIM OF THE STUDY: In the present work the distribution of genotypes and frequency of alleles of the Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln polymorphism of XRCC1 and Arg415Gln polymorphism in ERCC4/XPF in subjects with...
