Abstract excerpt
Alterations in DNA repair genes have been shown to cause a reduction in host DNA repair capacity and may influence host susceptibility to carcinogenesis. The double-strand break repair is a major DNA-repair pathway. This study tested the hypothesis that common sequence variants of the double-strand break pathway genes predispose susceptible individuals to an increased risk for renal cell carcinoma. Toward this...
