DNA REPAIR & SUSCEPTIBILITY TO UV-INDUCED SKIN CANCER: PUERTO RICAN ADULTS

该子项目是利用 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者 (PI) 可能已从另一个 NIH 来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中出现。列出的机构是中心的机构，不一定是研究者的机构。具体目标是： 1) 确定波多黎各人群中没有皮肤癌的成年人（对照）的 DNA 修复能力。这些研究将提供波多黎各人 DNA 修复能力的第一个基线数据； 2)测定皮肤癌（BCC和SCC）患者的DNA修复能力，并将其与非皮肤癌成人进行比较。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The specific aims are to: 1)Determine the DNA repair capacity of adults (controls) without skin cancer in Puerto Rican populations. These studies will provide the first baseline data of the DNA repair capabilities of Puerto Ricans; 2)Determine the DNA repair capacity of skin-cancer (BCC and SCC) patients and compare them with non-skin cancer adults.
