“…Previous studies have reported that XRCC1 gene polymorphisms contribute to the development of cancers, such as lung, colorectal, breast, and ovarian cancers (Guo et al, 2015;Malisic et al, 2015;Nissar et al, 2015;Wang et al, 2015b). Recently, several epidemiologic studies have assessed the association between XRCC1 gene polymorphisms and susceptibility to glioma, but their findings are inconclusive (Feng et al, 2014;Li et al, 2014;Rodriguez-Hernandez et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2015a). In our study, we examined a Chinese Han population and investigated the role of XRCC1 gene polymorphisms (Arg399Gln and Arg194Trp) with a risk for susceptibility to gliomas.…”
