Analysis of XRCC2 and XRCC3 gene polymorphisms in pancreatic cancer

Abstract: The double-strand break DNA repair pathway, including and genes, is implicated in maintaining genomic stability and therefore could affect the pancreatic cancer risk. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical significance of the and gene polymorphisms in patients with pancreatic cancer. The present study included 203 patients: 101 with pancreatic cancer and 102 healthy controls. The Arg188His and the Thr241Met gene polymorphisms have been studied in DNA isolated from blood samples. The associat… Show more

“…11 XRCC2 p.Arg188His polymorphism located in exon3 12 has been associated with cancers like pancreatic, 13 ovarian, 14 oral 15 and upper aerodigestive tract cancers. 16 XRCC3 (chromosome location 14q32.3) encodes a 346 amino acid polypeptide 17 that participates in DNA doublestrand break repair. Variation in expression of XRCC3 has been reported in various cancers, like gastric, breast, lung, skin and colorectal.…”

“…The promoter of the gene coding for Cox‐2 (PTGS2) contains various putative transcriptional regulatory elements , and polymorphisms in this region can potentially alter the expression of PTGS2, thereby modulating the risk for different cancer types. Two functional polymorphisms in the promoter of the PTGS2 gene (−765G>C, and −1195A>G), which modulate the risk for various cancers , have been identified .…”

“…XRCC3 rs861539 occurred in response to the polymorphism at amino acid 241, which was changed from threonine to methionine (or the nucleotide from C to T), resulting in impaired DNA repair function via a defect in the function of XRCC3 by removing the phosphorylation site. 43 The XRCC3 homovariant Met/Met genotype has been identified with higher DNA double-strand break adducts after the same level of DNA damage challenges in the lymphocytes of investigated healthy subjects, 7 while modifying the XRCC3 levels of the Thr241Met variant cells alters their DNA repair capacity. 44 In addition, the XRCC3 heterovariant Thr241Met carriers who were exposed to ionizing radiation are associated with an increased number of micronuclei in their lymphocytes.…”
