Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1 (hOGG1) gene encodes a DNA glycosylase that removes 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanine (8-OH-dG) DNA damage to protect against gene mutations. The association of hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism with lung cancer risk has predicted that hOGG1-Cys variants are less effective at removing 8-OH-dG damage from DNA; therefore, these variants might show an increased occurrence of...
