Abstract excerpt
DNA repair proficiency has also been proposed as a potential susceptibility factor for breast cancer. Synonymous polymorphism roles of the DNA repair genes in relation to breast cancer remain largely unknown. Nonsmokers are a good model in which to investigate genetic susceptibility to cancer because they are at low-dose carcinogen exposure. To validate genetic biomarkers of the disease, we explored the effects...
