Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) are one of the most common cancers in the world, and nucleotide excision repair (NER) is involved in HNSCCs susceptibility. We investigated whether mRNA expression levels of nine core NER genes were associated with risk of HNSCCs in a Chinese population. METHODS: In this study of 251 HNSCC patients and 232 healthy controls, we quantified NER gene mRNA...
