Abstract excerpt
Base excision repair (BER) pathway plays critical role in maintaining genome integrity. Polymorphisms in BER genes which modulate the DNA repair capacity may affect the susceptibility and prognosis of cancer. We conducted a case-control study and followed up the cases to explore the associations between BER genes polymorphisms and the risk and prognosis of colorectal cancer (CRC). This study included 451 CRC...
