To test this hypothesis, we genotyped Lys939Gln genotype (A > C; rs2228001), ERCC2 Lys751Gln (rs13181) and ERCC5 Asp1104His (G > C; rs17655) polymorphisms in our ongoing hospital-based case-control study of Bladder cancer in a population from Tunisia. Here, ERCC2 is linked to urinary bladder carcinoma.
