Abstract excerpt
In the present study, we investigated the effect of the DNA repair gene polymorphisms XPD Asp312Asn (G>A), APE1 Asp148Glu (T>G), and MUTYH Tyr165Cys (G>A) on the risk for head and neck cancer (HNC) in association with tobacco use in a population of Northeast India. The study subjects comprised of 80 HNC patients and 92 healthy controls. Genotyping was performed using amplification refractory mutation system-PCR...
