Abstract excerpt
Evidence is mounting suggesting that DNA damage is implicated in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. To yield more information, we focused on six well-characterized polymorphisms from four DNA repair-relevant candidate genes, viz. XRCC1 (rs1799782 and rs25487), XRCC3 (rs861539), MTHFR (rs1801133 and rs4846049), and NQO1 (), to identify and characterize their potential gene-to-gene...
