The Arg194Trp SNP was associated with increased NHL risk within the Asian population, and increased diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) risk within the overall population under dominant model.
Compared to those with BMI <25, women with BMI ≥25 had significantly increased risk of NHL among women who carried BRCA1 (rs799917) CT/TT, ERCC2 (rs13181) AA, XRCC1 (rs1799782) CC, and WRN (rs1801195) GG genotypes, but no increase in NHL risk among women who carried BRCA1 CC, ERCC2 AC/CC, XRCC1 CT/TT, and WRN GT/TT genotypes.
This hospital-based case-control study examined whether polymorphism in the DNA repair gene x-ray repair cross-complementing groups 1 (XRCC1 Arg194Trp [C-->T], Arg280His [G-->A], and Arg399Gln [G-->A]) played a role in susceptibility to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) in the Chinese population.
In addition, the XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism was associated with decreased NHL risk (Arg/Trp vs. Arg/Arg, OR: 0.72; 95% CI: 0.49-1.07; Trp/Trp vs. Arg/Arg, OR: 0.45; 95% CI: 0.10-1.99; p trend: 0.059), mainly in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
