The aim of this study was to assess the contribution of NHEJ genotypes, including XRCC4 (rs6869366, rs3734091, rs28360071, rs28360317, rs1805377), XRCC5 (rs828907, rs11685387, rs9288518), XRCC6 (rs5751129, rs2267437, rs132770, rs132774), XRCC7 rs7003908, and Ligase4 rs1805388, to NPC risk, with 208 NPC patients and 416 controls. Here, XRCC6 is linked to nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
