In conclusion, our results suggested that the SNP rs125701 in hOGG1 promoter was associated with the elevated GC risk, which could act as a new potential biomarker for GC susceptibility.
Ser/Cys + Cys/Cys versus Ser/Ser (OR = 0.91, 95% CI 0.81-1.03), Cys/Cys versus Ser/Cys + Ser/Ser (OR = 1.07, 95% CI 0.80-1.44), Ser/Cys versus Ser/Ser (OR = 0.91, 95% CI 0.80-1.03), Sys/Cys versus Ser/Cys (OR = 1.10, 95% CI 0.83-1.47), Cys/Cys versus Ser/Ser (OR = 0.99, 95% CI 0.74-1.34), Cys versus Ser (OR = 1.01, 95% CI 0.88-1.17).When stratifying for ethnicity, there was still no significant association found between hOGG1Ser326Cys polymorphism and GC risk.
The variant c.-53G>C in the 5'-UTR of the hOGG1 gene is a risk factor for gastric cancer and is potentially associated with low-differentiation degree, but not with colorectal cancer, in the Chinese population.
Although smokers and high salted tea drinkers themselves were at higher risk for gastric cancer (OR=8.975, P=0.0001; OR=14.778, P=0.0001), interaction with OGG1Ser326Cys did not further modulate the risk.
Our results suggest that (i) APE1 gene polymorphism may be associated with GC risk and (ii) HOGG1 gene polymorphism may be informative in the prognosis of GC.
Polymorphic variants of base excision repair (APE1-D148E, XRCC1-R194W, XRCC1-R399Q and OGG1-S326C), nucleotide excision repair (XPC-PAT, XPA-23G>A, ERCC1-19007T>C and XPD-L751Q), recombination (XRCC3-T241M) and alkylation damage reversal (MGMT-L84F) were tested for their potential role in the development of GC by using logistic regression models.
To evaluate the association between genetic polymorphisms of X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1, Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln), adenosine diphosphate ribosyl transferase (ADPRT, Val762Ala), 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1, Ser326Cys) and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1, Asp148Glu) and evolution of H.pylori-associated precancerous gastric lesions, a population-based cohort study was conducted in Linqu County, a high-risk area of gastric cancer in China.
We did not observe any correlation between the Ser1245Cys polymorphism of the hOGG1 gene and gastric cancer, including subjects with impaired DNA repair and/or high levels of endogenous oxidative DNA lesions.
We examined the distribution of the hOGG1Ser326Cys polymorphism and its presumed correlation with gastric cancer risk in two case-control studies of different ethnic groups in São Paulo, Brazil.
