Abstract excerpt
Altered DNA repair can be associated with aggressive tumor biology and impact on survival of cancer patients. We investigated whether genetic variation of human apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease, a key multifunctional gene involved in the base excision repair pathway, would play a role in gastric cancer survival outcomes. We genotyped APE1 rs1760944 by the TaqMan method in 925 gastric cancer patients....
