Characterization of rare NEIL1 variants found in East Asian populations

Abstract: The combination of chronic dietary exposure to the fungal toxin, aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1), and hepatitis B viral (HBV) infection is associated with an increased risk for early onset hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). An in-depth knowledge of the mechanisms driving carcinogenesis is critical for the identification of genetic risk factors affecting the susceptibility of individuals who are HBV infected and AFB 1 exposed. AFB 1-induced mutagenesis is characterized by G to T transversions. Hence, the DNA repair pathwa… Show more

“…However, it is now well established that exposure to aflatoxins induces various epigenetic changes in repair genes that impedes BER. For example, hypermethylation of the promoter of NEIL1 (Nei Like 1) gene coding for a DNA glycosylase (NEIL1), which plays a key role in BER, was recently shown to reduce the excision efficiency in AFB1-FAPy adducts by transcriptional repression of the gene [39]. The repair of AFB1-FAPy lesions may be further restricted in humans due to the widespread polymorphic variants producing catalytically inactive NEIL1 enzyme [40].…”
