Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Loci controlling DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) repair play an important role in defending against the harmful health effects of benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX), but their gene variants may alter their repair capacity. The aim of the current study was to determine the relationship of functional polymorphisms ATM-rs228589 A>T, WRN-rs1800392 G>T and H2AX-rs7759 A>G in DBS repair loci...
