Abstract excerpt
CpG island hypermethylation (CIHM) is frequently observed in the colonic mucosa in ulcerative colitis (UC) and is deeply involved in UC-associated colorectal carcinogenesis. We evaluated the influence of common polymorphisms related to DNA repair or xenobiotic pathway (XRCC1, GSTP1, GSTT1, and GSTM1) on the individual susceptibility to CIHM status in the non-neoplastic rectal mucosa in UC patients. XRCC1...
