Abstract:
                                      Objective  : To explore the association between the susceptibility of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the genetic polymorphism Ser326Cys of DNA repair gene hOGGl.  
Metholds  : Ninety six patients with HCC and ninety six subjects of control group in DNA damage repair gene hOGGl Ser326Cys polymorphism were genotyped.  
Results  : It was found that the OR of heterozygote Ser/Cys subjects was 1.5 and that of homozygosity Cys/Cys was 1.9.  
Conclusion : Allele Cys for hOGGl gene may increase the genetic susceptibility of HCC.
