Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIM: One candidate gene for colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibility is exonuclease 1 (EXO1). It is a member of RAD2 nuclease family, which plays a major role in mismatch repair, DNA replication, and recombination. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms are shown to be related with cancer incidence. The aim of the present study was to examine the association between the L757P polymorphism at exon 13 of the...
