Popis: ERCC5 plays an important role in DNA damage repair. Mutations in it will lead to DNA repair defects and genomic instability. Its functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may alter DNA repair capacity and affect cancer susceptibility. This study aims to evaluate the association between SNPs in ERCC5 and breast cancer susceptibility in Han women subjects genetically from northwest China. A total of 101 breast cancer patients and 101 healthy controls provided blood samples for analysis of ERCC5 rs17655 and rs751402 genotypes. After adjusting covariates, rs751402 homozygote AA and heterozygote AG were found to confer statistically significant protections (OR 0.052, 95 % CI 0.006–0.411, P = 0.005; OR 0.145, 95 % CI 0.067–0.315, P
