Abstract:
A low DNA repair capacity (DRC) was found to be a susceptibility factor for breast carcinoma. Cases had a 36% lower DRC than controls. A 1% decrease in DRC corresponded to a 22% increase in breast carcinoma risk. To the authors' knowledge, the current study was the first to directly determine the DRC of women with breast carcinoma. Because DRC is an independent risk factor for breast carcinoma, it may be a useful marker in predicting susceptibility.
