ERCC4/XPF protein plays an important role in the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway, and deficiencies in the gene encoding it can lead to a repair-deficiency syndrome, xeroderma pigmentosum group F (XP-F). Common variants on this gene are assumed to be foreboding markers for lung cancer, and 4 selected SNPs in the ERCC4 gene were genotyped in a multi-center case-control study involving 1010 lung cancer...
