Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Functions pertaining to DNA repair and synthesis are believed to play a critical role in cancer development and seem to be affected by genetic polymorphisms. Herein we performed a case-control study evaluating the influence of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in XPA, ERCC5 and MTR [rs1800975 (G-4A), rs17655 (Asp1104His) and rs1805087 (A2756G), respectively] in lymphoma risk. METHODS: Genotype...
