Polymorphisms in the ERCC5 gene and risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Eastern Chinese populations.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
BACKGROUND: Excision repair cross complementing group 5 (ERCC5 or XPG) plays an important
role in regulating DNA excision repair; its functional single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNPs) may alter DNA repair capacity and thus ...
On the interplay of telomeres, nevi and the risk of melanoma.
(PloS one, 2012-01)
The relationship between telomeres, nevi and melanoma is complex. Shorter telomeres
have been found to be associated with many cancers and with number of nevi, a known
risk factor for melanoma. However, shorter telomeres ...
