Abstract excerpt
Translesion synthesis (TLS) polymerases have low processivity and fidelity compared with replicative polymerases. Defective function of TLS polymerases result in chromosome instability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of TLS genes on susceptibility and metastasis in colorectal cancer (CRC). Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (rs462779, rs11153292, rs373572 and rs2233004) of TLS genes...
