Abstract excerpt
DNA repair genes play an important role in maintaining stability and integrity of genomic DNA. Polymorphisms in nucleotide excision repair genes may cause variations in DNA repair capacity phenotype and thus contribute to cancer risk. In this case-control study of 1,125 gastric cancer cases and 1,196 cancer-free controls, we investigated the association between three functional single nucleotide polymorphisms...
