Article Synopsis
  • The nucleotide excision repair (NER) system helps protect against DNA damage, and deficiencies in this system can lead to increased mutations and cancer risks.
  • A study analyzed 19 NER gene polymorphisms in 416 Wilms tumor cases and 936 controls from East China, finding that certain XPD polymorphisms decreased Wilms tumor risk while some XPG polymorphisms increased it.
  • The research suggests that these gene variations affect nearby gene expression and emphasizes the need for further studies with larger sample sizes to validate these associations.

Both firms are bounded rational, with linear cost functions and demand functions.
