## Abstract Rates of adenocarcinoma of the esophagus (EAC) and esophago‐gastric junction (EGJAC) have increased rapidly in recent decades. The primary risk factors, gastro‐esophageal acid reflux and smoking, are potentially genotoxic through the generation of __N__‐nitroso compounds. The DNA repair

## Abstract To determine whether variations in DNA repair genes are related to host DNA damage, we investigated the association between polymorphism in the __XPD__ gene (codon 199, 312, 751) and the __XRCC1__ gene (codon 194, 399) and the presence of benzo(a)pyrene diolepoxide adducts to lymphocyte
We describe seven restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) in the Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) gene region. These new markers, found using a cosmid contig, have been used to map precisely the chromosome 22 long arm.
