Protective association exhibited by the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs1052133 in the gene human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (hOGG1) with the risk of squamous cell carcinomas of the head & neck (SCCHN) among north Indians.

TL;DR: Investigation of association of the non-synonymous SNP rs1052133 located in the exonic region of the gene human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase with the risk of squamous cell carcinomas of the head and neck indicates that the polymorphism rs10 52133 is strongly associated with SCCHN susceptibility and the mutant (G) allele might be a protective factor forSCCHN among north Indian subpopulations.
