Association of <i>APE1</i> and <i>hOGG1</i> polymorphisms with colorectal cancer risk in a Turkish population

Abstract

APE1 Asp148Glu and hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphisms might be associated with increasing risk of CRC in a Turkish population. Future studies with larger-sized samples, as well as detecting the association of DNA repair genes with other confounding factors will help elucidate the exact roles of DNA repair genes polymorphisms in development and progression of CRC.
