“…We included genes related to dioxin, phenoxyherbicide, insecticide, vinyl chloride, and radiation response, as well as variants in the previously identified AhR, MDM2 , and ERCC5 genes [32]–[38]. We also looked at polymorphisms in genes encoding proteins on the AhR/ARNT dioxin-response pathway ( CYP1A2 , CYP1B1 , HIF1A , NQO1 , and G6PC/G6PT ) [39]–[41], other related metabolizing pathways ( ADH1A , ADH1B , ADH1C , ALDH18A1 , ALDH1A1 , ALDH1A2 , ALDH1A3 , ALDH1B1 , ALDH1L1 , ALDH1L2 , ALDH2 , CYP2B6 , CYP2C8 , CYP2C9 , CYP2D6 , CYP2E1 , CYP3A4 , GSTM1 , GSTT1 , GSTP1 , HNF4A , NAT2 , NFE2L2, NOS2A , PTGS2/COX2 , and SULT1A1 ) [42]–[45] and TP53 , a tumor suppressor and cell cycle regulation gene closely related to MDM2
[26]. Additionally, we selected several DNA repair genes ( ERCC2 , RAD23B , XPA, and XPC ) in the same DNA repair pathway as ERCC5 , as polymorphisms in these nucleotide excision repair genes can affect individual sensitivity to carcinogen-induced DNA damage [46].…”
