Abstract excerpt
XPA, a zinc-finger DNA-binding protein, play an important role in both global genome and transcription-coupled repair pathways. XPA -4G>A polymorphism was identified in the 5' noncoding region, located four nucleotides upstream of the ATG start codon. Previous studies have shown that this polymorphism may affect mRNA tertiary structure and stability and play a role in susceptibility to cancer. However, the...
