Abstract excerpt
The DNA repair gene ERCC6, an important caretaker of the overall genome stability, is thought to play a role in the development of human malignancy. However, the polymorphic variants of ERCC6, has never been reported about their association with oral cancer susceptibility. In this hospital-based case-control study, the association of ERCC6 codon 399, 1097 and 1413 polymorphisms with oral cancer risk in a Central...
