Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: APE1 is an important DNA repair protein in the base excision repair pathway. Genetic variations in APE1 have been suggested to influence individuals' susceptibility to human malignancies. The present study was aimed to investigate the associations between two functional polymorphisms in APE1 (-656T>G and 1349T>G) and breast cancer risk. METHODS: We genotyped the two polymorphisms in a...
