Abstract excerpt
To test the hypothesis that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair genes are associated with cognitive performance during normal aging, the relationship between SNPs in selected exons in DNA base excision repair (BER) genes and cognitive performance was examined in 712 healthy Norwegian individuals aged 20-75 years. SNPs examined included PolB(Pro242Arg), hOGG1(Ser326Cys), MutYH (Met22Val),...
