Genetic variation in the NEIL2 DNA glycosylase gene is associated with oxidative DNA damage in BRCA2 mutation carriers

Abstract: In this report, we have tried to gain molecular insight into a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the NEIL2 gene previously identified as “cancer risk modifier” for BRCA2 mutation carriers.To that end, we studied the role of this SNP (rs804271) on NEIL2 transcriptional regulation, oxidative DNA damage and genome instability in two independent set of samples: The first one was a series of eighty-six BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers and eighty non-carrier controls in which we evaluated the effect of the SN… Show more

“…NEIL2 is involved in DNA repair mechanisms, and research suggest it influences malignancies beyond bladder cancer. Alterations in normal NEIL2 activity most likely result in accumulated oxidative damage, as elegantly presented by Benitez-Buelga et al (19).…”

“…A recent analysis of copy number variation using the data from COSMIC and TCGA databases revealed that NEIL2's level is generally low in most cancers (31,32). We and others have also reported that functional variants of NEIL2 are risk factors for lung cancer, squamous cell carcinoma and breast cancer in BRCA2 mutation carriers (33)(34)(35)(36). Although Neil2-null (Neil2 -/-) mice are viable and do not show spontaneous tumor development (17,37), their susceptibility to inflammatory stimuli prompted us to explore the mechanistic basis of NEIL2's role in innate immunity.…”

“…For some missense variants in OGG1, the risk increases by 14-fold (p < 0.01) and reach 18-fold (p < 0.004) in breast cancer patients compared with controls 57 . Also, some common regulatory variants in OGG1 and other DNA glycosidase like NEIL2 are classi ed as potential cancer risk modi ers for BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations carriers because they exert a synergetic effect with BRCA mutations on DNA damage and telomere shortening 15,58 .…”
