Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Studies on polymorphism of X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1), group 3 (XRCC3), and colorectal cancer risk are inconclusive. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of XRCC1 R399Q, R194W, and XRCC3 T241M genotypes in colorectal cancer susceptibility. METHODS: We performed a meta-analysis on all available studies that provided 3,514/4,686 cases/controls for R399Q, 2,767/3,907...
