Abstract excerpt
Exonuclease 1 (EXO1) is an important nucleases involved in mismatch repair system that contributes to maintain genomic stability, to modulate DNA recombination, and to mediate cell cycle arrest. Potentially functional polymorphisms in EXO1 may alter cancer risks by influencing the repair activity of EXO1. Therefore, we hypothesized that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in EXO1 were associated with risk of...
