Growing evidence suggests that RAD51 plays a pivotal role in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks and the maintenance of genomic stability. A single nucleotide polymorphism, 135G/C, has been identified in the 5' untranslated region of the RAD51 gene and has been shown to influence gene transcription activity. Previous studies yielded conflicting results as to the association of 135G/C polymorphism with breast...
