Abstract excerpt
Cancer develops through interactions between polygenic and environmental factors, and changes in DNA repair pathway can increase susceptibility to tumours. XRCC1 and PARP1 are two proteins that act cooperatively in base excision repair (BER) of DNA. The polymorphisms of genes coding these proteins may effect their action in BER pathway. In this study, we aimed to investigate the associations between glioma risk...
