Abstract excerpt
DNA double-strand breaks (DSB) are the most lethal form of ionizing radiation-induced DNA damage, and failure to repair them results in cell death. In order to see if any associations exist between DNA repair gene polymorphisms and phenotypic profiles of DSB repair (DSBR) we performed a genotype-phenotype correlation study in 118 young healthy subjects (mean age 25.8±6.7years). Subjects were genotyped for 768...
