Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: 8-Hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) is an oxidized nucleoside that can lead to misincorporation of bases. Human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (hOGG1) is the key defense enzyme against mutation by the cellular 8-OHdG in duplex DNA. The present study was aimed to explore whether the hOGG1 gene variants play an important role in the carcinogenesis of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). METHODS: Germ line...
