Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway genes may modulate DNA repair capacity and increase susceptibility to breast cancer (BC). A case-control study was conducted by evaluating genes involved in DNA repair to identify polymorphisms associated with BC. METHODS: The 384 SNPs of 38 candidate genes were genotyped using the Illumina GoldenGate method. Genotypes...
