Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic polymorphisms in DNA repair genes, XRCC1 (Arg399Gln) and XRCC3 (Thr241Met), may affect their DNA repair capacity leading to individual variation in breast cancer susceptibility among Bangladeshi females. METHODS: The case-control study comprised 121 breast cancer patients and 133 healthy controls. Genomic DNA isolated from peripheral blood was genotyped for target SNPs using PCR-RFLP method....
