## Abstract Cigarette smoking is the major risk factor for lung cancer, and together with alcohol for head and neck (HN) cancer. These genotoxics produced DNA damage and particularly double‐strand breaks (DSB) that are removed by various repair pathways. To understand the initiation of these cance
## Abstract DNA repair is central to normal cellular functions, and polymorphisms of DNA repair genes may cause variation in DNA repair capacity in the general population. Newly identified polymorphisms of xeroderma pigmentosum group C (__XPC__), one of the nucleotide excision repair genes, were sh
## Abstract Variation in DNA repair capacity, which is believed to be largely determined by genetic traits, is linked to risk of certain cancers. The Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln polymorphisms in the xeroderma pigmentosum complementary group D (XPD) gene may alter DNA repair capacity. We thus examined t
## Abstract High‐dose ionizing radiation exposure to the breast and rare autosomal dominant genes have been linked with increased breast cancer risk, but the role of low‐to‐moderate doses from protracted radiation exposure in breast cancer risk and its potential modification by polymorphisms in DNA
