Abstract excerpt
The cell's susceptibility to DNA damage and its ability to repair this damage are important for cancer induction, promotion and progression. In the present work we determined the level of basal (total endogenous) and endogenous oxidative DNA damage as well as polymorphism of the DNA repair genes: RAD51 (135 G/C), XRCC3 (Thr241Met), OGG1 (Ser326Cys) and XPD (Lys751Gln) in peripheral blood lymphocytes of 41 breast...
