Association between NER Pathway Gene Polymorphisms and Wilms Tumor Risk
8 Aug 2018
Abstract excerpt
Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is an essential mechanism of the body to defend against exogenous carcinogen-induced DNA damage. Defects in NER may impair DNA repair capacity and, therefore, increase genome instability and cancer susceptibility. To explore genetic predispositions to Wilms tumor, we conducted a case-control study totaling 145 neuroblastoma cases and 531 healthy controls. We systematically...
