Damage-specific DNA-binding protein 2 (DDB2) is a DNA repair protein mainly involved in nucleotide excision repair, which plays a pivotal role in maintaining genomic stability. In this study, we evaluated the association of single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1050244 in miRNA target site of <i>DDB2</i> gene with risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) among 1073 HCC patients and 1119 cancer-free controls in a southern Chinese population.
