Abstract excerpt
The DNA repair gene Ku70 plays a key role in the DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair system. Defects in DSBs repair capacity can lead to genomic instability. We hypothesized that the Ku70 A-31G polymorphism (rs132770) was associated with the risk of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). In a hospital-based case-control study of 620 RCC patients and 623 cancer-free controls frequency matched by age and sex, we genotyped...
