Abstract excerpt
X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) is a major DNA repair protein in the base excision repair pathway. XRCC1 rs3213245 is a functional polymorphism in the XRCC1 gene promoter region which results in decreased DNA repair capacity. Previous studies investigating the association of XRCC1 rs3213245 polymorphism with lung cancer risk reported conflicting results. A meta-analysis of published studies was...
