Assessing Candidate Gene nsSNPs for Phenotypic Differences in Double-Strand Break Repair Using Radiation-Induced γH2A.X Foci

Nonsynonymous SNPs (nsSNPs) in DNA repair genes may be important determinants of DNA damage and cancer risk. We applied a set of screening criteria to a large number of nsSNPs and selected a subset of SNPs that were likely candidates for phenotypic effects on DNA double-strand break repair (DSBR). I...
