This finding has later Ulla Vogel, Lawrence Grossman, Lars Bolund, and been corroborated by the association of polymorphisms in XPD Bjørn A.

Shenyang Medical College, Shenyang 110031, Liaoning, People’s Republic of In this paper, we present evidence that alleles of several other China [J.

We are therefore convinced that a chromosomal variation influencing the risk of getting BCC and possibly other cancers must be located in this region, and we see the present paper as a Abstract first step toward identifying this variation. In this paper, we present evidence that alleles of several Of the genes that we have investigated, XPD, ERCC1, and polymorphisms in the chromosomal region 19q13.2–3, LIG1 relate to DNA repair and are probably directly involved encompassing the genes RAI and XPD, are associated in preventing cancer.
