Homozygous Wildtype of XPD K751Q Polymorphism Is Associated with Increased Risk of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma in Malaysian Population

Abstract: The xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) gene encodes a DNA helicase, an important component in transcription factor IIH (TFIIH) complex. XPD helicase plays a pivotal role in unwinding DNA at the damaged region during nucleotide excision repair (NER) mechanism. Dysfunctional XPD helicase protein from polymorphic diversity may contribute to increased risk of developing cancers. This study aims to determine the association between XPD K751Q polymorphism (rs13181) and risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in the … Show more

“…The characteristics of the included studies are in Tables and . A total of 23 case–control studies (Ban et al., ; Chen et al., ; Cheng et al., ; Ekburanawat et al., ; Fachiroh et al., ; Ghosh et al., ; Ji et al., ; Khlifi et al., ; Lakhanpal et al., ; Lo et al., ; Lye et al., ; Mabuchi et al., ; Nong et al., ; Polesel et al., ; Shanmugaratnam et al., ; Sriamporn et al., ; Wei et al., ; Yang et al., ; Yong et al., ; Yuan et al., ; Zhang et al., ; Zou et al., , ) and 2 cohort studies (Friborg et al., ; Li et al., ) were included in the overall meta‐analysis. The other 5 studies (Nam et al., ; Ruan et al., ; Vaughan, ; Vaughan et al., ; Yu et al., ) did not include information on ever drinkers versus nondrinkers, so they were used only in the subgroup analysis of drinking‐related characteristics associated with NPC risk.…”

“…Moreover, our findings agree with a previous meta‐analysis (Li et al., ). Because of the insufficiency of included studies, different literature quality, and unreasonable classification methods in this previous meta‐analysis (Li et al., ), the results should be reviewed again with new studies (Ban et al., ; Fachiroh et al., ; Ghosh et al., ; Khlifi et al., ; Lakhanpal et al., ; Lo et al., ; Lye et al., ; Xu et al., ; Yong et al., ). The many confounding factors and design differences in the current included studies led to different results.…”

“…More than 100 mutations have been mapped in XPD [ 41 ], which could potentially affect the helicase activity of the encoded protein, thereby impeding normal NER function and leading to increased cancer risk [ 29 , 42 ]. Several XPD polymorphisms are reportedly associated with cancer risk [ 43 45 ]. Among these, rs1799793 (Asp312Asn) and rs13181 (Lys751Gln) in the XPD coding region are the two most widely investigated.…”

“…A significant association was found between XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism and the odds of NPC. The effect of this individual polymorphism has been discussed extensively in our previous publication [ 28 ].…”

“…XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism is located in carboxy terminal domain (CTD) where XPD-p44 interaction takes place [ 27 ]. XPD homozygous wildtype Lys/Lys genotype has been shown to be associated with higher odds of NPC (OR = 1.58, 95% CI = 1.05–2.38, p = 0.028) [ 28 ].…”
