Abstract excerpt
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) display enhanced genomic damage. DNA repair gene polymorphisms may affect DNA repair capacity and modulate susceptibility to ESRD. In this study, we aimed to determine the frequency of polymorphisms in two DNA repair enzyme genes, Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group D (XPD) and X-ray cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1), in patients with ESRD and to evaluate...
