Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The genes of base excision repair (BER) pathway have been extensively studied in the association with various human cancers. We performed a case-control study to test the association between two common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of XRCC1 gene with human head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). METHODS: The genotype analysis of Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln gene polymorphisms for 92 HNSCC...
