Abstract excerpt
The genetic polymorphisms in DNA repair genes might affect the repair activities of the enzymes, predisposing individuals to cancer risk. Due to these genetic variants, interethnic differences in DNA repair capacity were observed in various populations. Hence, our study aimed to determine the prevalence of three nonsynonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in an X-ray repair cross-complementation group 1...
