Abstract excerpt
XPC, a key protein in the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway, recognizes damaged DNA and initiates NER. Genetic variations in the XPC gene might be associated with altered DNA repair capacities (DRC). In this study, we genotyped three XPC polymorphisms, Ala499Val (C-->T), PAT (-/+) and Lys939Gln (A-->C), and measured the DNA damage/DRC by alkaline comet assay challenged by BPDE and gamma-radiation in 476...
