Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Anthracyclines have various mechanisms of action that in the end lead to DNA double-strand breaks. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair genes may alter the protein function, affecting DNA repair proficiency and, therefore, the efficiency of DNA damaging chemotherapy. We have analysed whether SNPs in DNA repair genes (XRCC1, XRCC3 and XPD) could be useful to predict the response to...
