In conclusion, our results reveal no association between XPDLys751Gln, XRCC Arg399Gln and XRCC3 Thr241Met polymorphisms and the risk of PE in a Mexican mestizo population; however, the results in the APEX1Asp148Glu polymorphism suggest the need for future studies using a larger sample size.
To analyze the association of the polymorphisms in 8-oxoguanine glycosylase-1 (OGG1), X-ray repair cross-complementing-1 (XRCC1), and AP endonuclease-1 (APE1) genes in the base excision repair pathway and xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group D (XPD) in the nucleotide excision repair pathway with the risk of cataract in a Chinese population.
Our results indicate that SNPs in the NER genes ERCC1 (Asn118Asn, 15310G>C, 8902G>T), XPA (-4G>A), ERCC2/XPD (Lys751Gln) and ERCC5/XPD (His46His); the BER genes APE1/APEX (Ile64Val), OGG1 (Ser326Cys), PCNA (1876A>G) and XRCC1 (Arg194Trp, Arg280His, Arg399Gln); and the DSB-R genes ATR (Thr211Met), NBS1 (Glu185Gln), XRCC2 (Arg188His) and XRCC9 (Thr297Ile) modulate NSCLC risk.
Associations between lung cancer risk and common polymorphisms in the DNA repair genes xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group D (XPD), X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1), XRCC3 and apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease/redox factor 1 were examined within a randomized clinical trial designed to determine whether alpha-tocopherol, beta-carotene, or both would reduce cancer incidence among male smokers in Finland.
