Abstract excerpt
We explored the effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of nucleotide excision repair (NER) genes on DNA damage caused by exposure to carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in 475 Chinese workers. We quantified urinary 1-hydroxypyrene using high-performance liquid chromatography, and the DNA damage level of lymphocytes was examined by the comet assay and represented as the Olive tail moment...
