We investigated association between polymorphisms in DNA repair genes and the capacity to repair DNA damage induced by gamma-irradiation and by base oxidation in a healthy population. Irradiation-specific DNA repair rates were significantly decreased in individuals with XRCC1 Arg399Gln homozygous variant genotype (0.45 +/- 0.47 SSB/10(9) Da) than in those with wild-type genotype (1.10 +/- 0.70 ...
