<h4>Background and objective</h4>8-hydroxygumine DNA glycosylase 1 (OGG1) is a DNA repair enzyme, which can repair damaged DNA by excising 8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-OH-G). Polymorphisms in human OGG1 gene (hOGG1) may alter glycosylase activity, thereby affects its repair to the damaged DNA, resulting in contribution to carcinogenesis. However, an association of genetic variants of hOGG1 promoter with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. The present study aims to explore whether th ...[more]
