Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nucleotide excision repair is a vital response to DNA damage, including damage from tobacco exposure. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the nucleotide excision repair pathway may encode alterations that affect DNA repair function and therefore influence the risk of pancreatic cancer development. METHODS: A clinic-based case-control study in non-Hispanic white persons compared 1,143 patients...
