Abstract excerpt
Recent genome-wide association studies have identified variations in the recombination repair gene, RAD52, that are associated with increased lung cancer risk, and particularly with the development of lung squamous cell carcinomas (LUSC). As LUSC development is strongly associated with smoking, DNA repair is increased in the lung tissues of smokers, presumably because of ongoing DNA damage from exposure to...
