Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The XRCC1 gene encodes the XRCC1 protein, which complexes with three other DNA repair enzymes involved in the base-excision repair (BER) pathways. Different XRCC1 polymorphisms may increase the risk of cancers by impairing interaction with other enzymatic proteins and consequently altering DNA repair activity, and result in carcinogenesis. Our study aimed to investigate any association between three...
