*

Significant effects were noted in sub-analyses restricted to young smokers.

**

For complete list of 676 Tag-SNPs within 88 DNA repair genes evaluated in the discovery stage and 11 SNPs within 7 DNA repair genes that were significant in the discovery stage and evaluated in the replication stage, refer to reference #21.

***

While the studies by Yang and Cao both reported evidence for a significant association between XRCC1 codon 194 polymorphism and NPC risk, the reported associations were in opposite directions.
