## Abstract Cigarette smoke can generate reactive oxygen species, which are capable of inducing doubleβstrand breaks (DSBs) in DNA. Polymorphisms in __XRCC2__ and __XRCC3__ genes, involved in DSBs repair pathways, may alter an individual's susceptibility to smokingβrelated cancers. We investigated
XRCC2 and XRCC3 proteins are structurally and functionally related to RAD51 which play an important role in the homologous recombination, the process frequently involved in cancer transformation. In our previous work we show that the 135G>C polymorphism (rs1801320) of the __RAD51__ gene can modify t
