Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) has a central role in the repair of apurinic apyrimidic sites through both its endonuclease and its phosphodiesterase activities. A common APE1 polymorphism, T1349G (rs3136820), was previously shown to be associated with the risk of cancers. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that the APE1 T1349G polymorphism is also associated with risk of gastric cancer. METHODS:...
