## Abstract ## Background. The inter‐individual differences in upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancer risk may be partly attributed to the polymorphic variability in the __CYP1A1__ gene that is involved in the metabolic activation of xenobiotics to carcinogenic reactive metabolites. ## Methods.

## Abstract Tobacco smoking is a major risk factor for lung and upper‐aerodigestive‐tract (UADT) cancers. One possible mechanism for the associations may be through DNA damage pathways. DNA Ligase I (__LIG1__) is a DNA repair gene involved in both the nucleotide excision repair (NER) and the base e
## Abstract Cigarette smoke can generate reactive oxygen species, which are capable of inducing double‐strand breaks (DSBs) in DNA. Polymorphisms in __XRCC2__ and __XRCC3__ genes, involved in DSBs repair pathways, may alter an individual's susceptibility to smoking‐related cancers. We investigated
## Abstract DNA repair enzyme genetic polymorphisms have been postulated to increase the risk of certain cancers in the presence of tobacco carcinogen exposures. The XPD protein is an important component of the TFIIH transcription factor complex. __XPD__ genetic polymorphisms resulting in amino aci
