Abstract excerpt
Polymorphisms in nucleotide excision repair genes have been associated with risk for lung cancer. We examined gene-environment interactions in relation to lung cancer in 430 cases and 790 comparison persons identified within a prospective cohort of 57,053 persons. We included polymorphisms in the XPC, XPA and XPD genes involved in the nucleotide excision DNA repair pathway and analysed possible interactions with...
