11 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation-induced DNA damage and genomic instability is one of the leading causes for melanoma. X-ray repair cross-complementary protein 1, XRCC1, plays a critically important role in base excision repair pathway. This study was therefore performed to analyze the correlation between XRCC1 expression, melanoma progression, and patient survival. Using a tissue microarray with a total of 119...
