Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A number of association studies have focused on the effect of polymorphisms related to DNA repair or the xenobiotic pathway, on the susceptibility to gastric cancer (GC). Here, the possible association between common polymorphisms in the X-ray repair cross-complementing groups (XRCC) 1, and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) genes and various clinicopathological characteristics, including overall...
