Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: In mammalian cells, XRCC3 plays an important role in the DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair by homologous recombination. Genetic polymorphisms in XRCC3 gene may potentially affect the repair of DSBs and thus confer susceptibility to thyroid cancer. In this study, we used a haplotype-based approach to investigate whether 5 selected SNPs i.e. rs1799796, rs1799794, rs861539, rs709399 and...
