Article Synopsis
- DNA repair mechanisms are essential for protecting the genome from damage that can lead to cancer, and genetic variations in repair genes like XRCC3 may influence cancer risk.
- This study focused on the Thr241Met polymorphism of the XRCC3 gene and its potential link to lung cancer among a group of smokers in Romania, consisting of 93 healthy participants and 85 lung cancer patients.
- The findings indicate that the Thr241Met variant does not significantly increase the risk of developing lung cancer in this population, showing no strong associations with factors like gender, tobacco use, or tumor types.
