Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Several studies have reported associations between radiation toxicity and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in candidate genes. Few associations have been tested in independent validation studies. This prospective study aimed to validate reported associations between genotype and radiation toxicity in a large independent dataset. METHODS: 92 (of 98 attempted) SNPs in 46 genes were successfully...
