Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To assess the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of base-excision repair genes and clinical outcomes, the roles of genetic variants of 3 selected genes-flap structure-specific endonuclease 1 (FEN1), 8-hydroxyguanine DNA glycosylase (hOGG1), and nei endonuclease VIII-like 1 (NEIL1)--were investigated in radiation-induced esophageal toxicity (RIET), radiation pneumonitis (RP),...
