Polymorphisms of DNA repair genes XRCC1 and XPD and their associations with risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in a Chinese population

Abstract: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), which is prevalent in China, is believed to be induced by environmental carcinogens. Accumulating evidence has shown that individual variation in DNA repair capacity resulting from genetic polymorphism influences risk of environmental carcinogenesis. We therefore investigated the associations between genetic polymorphisms in the DNA repair genes XRCC1 (Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln) and XPD (Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln) and risk of ESCC in an at-risk Chinese population. Genotyp… Show more

“…There have been studies showing an increased risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma in the presence of certain BER SNPs [12,29,31,32]. However, in our population of patients, we found no significant increase in risk for several individual BER SNPs or in a joint analysis under any model of inheritance.…”

“…We also extend our findings to include novel positive associations with two other NER SNPs (ERCC1 8092C/A and ERCC1 118C/T). These findings are in keeping with the known association between NER pathway polymorphisms and alterations in DNA repair capacity [15,16,20,37], and in turn, the increased risk of various cancers associated with diminished repair capacity (e.g., squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus [12,29,31], lung cancer [18,20,21], breast cancer [17,19], prostate cancer [14], and malignant melanoma [15]). ERCC1 8092C/A has been found to have positive associations in breast cancer risk [38,39], glioma risk [40], and a gene-smoking interaction in lung cancer risk [41].…”

“…Approximately, 30% DNA samples from cases were isolated from surgically resected normal tissues adjacent to the tumors of lung cancer patients. XRCC1 genotypes were analysed by PCR-RFLP methods as described previously (Sturgis et al, 1999;Xing et al, 2002;Hao et al, 2004). The PCR primers for amplifying DNA fragment containing the À77T/C (rs3213245), 194Arg/Trp (rs1799782), 280Arg/His (rs25489), or 399Arg/Gln (rs25487) site were…”

“…[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] Individual studies may have been underpowered to detect the effect of polymorphisms on the susceptibility of EC. Given the amount of accumulated data, we performed a quantitative synthesis of the evidence on the association of genetic polymorphisms with the developing risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), which is the dominant pathological type of EC in Chinese population.…”
