A study investigating the role of three SNPs of ERCC1 in the clinical outcome of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) showed that the TT genotype of ERCC1 rs11615 and the AA genotype of rs3212986 polymorphisms were associated with an increased risk of death from NSCLC [31]. Here, ERCC1 is linked to non-small cell lung carcinoma.
