Abstract excerpt
DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) are the most dangerous lesions which can lead to carcinogenesis. Homologous recombination (HR) is an important pathway responsible for maintaining genome integrity through repair of DSBs. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is an essential source of genetic variation whose presence in genes involved in HR may have a crucial role in modulation of DNA repair capacity. This...
