Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: X-ray repair cross complementing group 1 (XRCC1) is one of the major DNA repair proteins involved in the bas-excision repair pathway. Several single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the XRCC1 gene are identified and related with increased cancer risk development. In particular, the -77T>C polymorphism located on the promoter region relates with lung cancer risk development. The aim of this study is to analyze...
