Abstract excerpt
In hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), hotspot mutation in codon 249 of the p53 gene has been associated with exposure to aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). While the polymorphism of DNA repair gene X-ray repair cross-complementary group 1 (XRCC1) Arg399Gln may be related with AFB1-DNA adducts and gene mutations. Five hundred one HCCs were included in this study to investigate the role of the XRCC1 codon 399 polymorphism on...
