Abstract excerpt
The DNA repair gene Ku70 plays a key role in the DNA double strand break (DSB) repair system. Defects in DSB repair capacity can lead to genomic instability. We hypothesized that the Ku70 C-1310G polymorphism (rs2267437) was associated with risk of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We genotyped the Ku70 C-1310G polymorphism in a case-control study of 620 patients and 623 controls in a Chinese population and assessed...
