Genetic polymorphisms in DNA repair genes may affect DNA repair efficiency and may contribute to the risk of developing cancer. The aim of our study was to investigate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in <i>RAD51</i> (rs2619679, rs2928140, and rs5030789) and <i>XRCC3</i> (rs1799796) involved in DNA double-strand break repair and their relationship to prostate cancer.
