Gene symbolGene nameGene locationPolymorphismDNA repair capacity

OGG18-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase3p26.2Ser326Cys (rs1052133)The Cys/Cys genotype may be associated with a lower DNA repair capacity

XRCC1X-ray repair complementing defective repair in Chinese hamster cells 119q13.2Arg194Trp (rs1799782), Arg280His  (rs25489), Arg399Gln (rs25487)Although the Arg399Gln, Arg194Trp, and Arg280His polymorphisms have been suggested to be functional, there is no direct evidence on its functional consequences

XPAXeroderma pigmentosum, complementation group A9q22.3G23A (rs 1800975)The G allele may be associated with a higher DNA repair capacity

ERCC2/XPDExcision repair cross-complementing group 2/ Xeroderma pigmentosum, complementation group D19q13.3Asp312Asn (rs1799793), Lys751Gln (rs13181)The 312Asn and 751Gln alleles are reported to be associated with lower DNA repair capacity
