Abstract excerpt
The susceptibility of individuals to the genotoxic effect of pesticides can be modulated by genetic variations in the xenobiotic detoxification and DNA repair processes. This study evaluates if the two BER polymorphisms (XRCC1Arg194Trp and OGG1Ser326Cys) or the combined genotypes of these polymorphisms with PON1Gln192Arg could modify individual susceptibility to pesticide exposure in vineyard workers, as measured...
