Abstract excerpt
One of the major causes of carcinogenesis is loss of genome stability. RAD51 in process of homologous recombination (HR) played crucial role in maintenance integrity of genome through initiate of DNA double strand breaks repair. Presence of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in RAD51 gene could change the capacity of DNA repair and altered the response to damaging agents. Research on potential impact of genetic...
