XRCC1 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma: Alsbeih et al. [21] in the analysis of data from 30 patients with nasopharyngeal cancer demonstrated an association between SNPs of genes: TGFB1 and XRCC1a (C allele of gene TGFB1 [T869C codon 10 Leu/Pro, rs1982073], A allele of XRCC1 gene [G28152A, codon 399 Arg/Gln, rs25487]) and the intensity of late skin reaction after radiations in patients with HNC.
