Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of polymorphisms in genes encoding three key proteins of DNA base excision repair (BER): the OGG1 Ser326Cys, the MUTYH Tyr165Cys and the XRCC1 Arg399Gln with the risk of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Our study included 97 children patients with ALL (mean age 5.4±2.5) and 131 healthy children (mean age 6.2±2.8) used as controls. Genetic...
