To compare the refractive outcomes following cataract surgery using conventional keratometry (K) and total keratometry (TK) for intraocular lens (IOL) calculation in the SRK/T, HofferQ, Haigis, and Holladay 1 and 2, as well as Barrett and Barrett TK Universal II formulas.
Various combinations of the keywords and MeSH terms were used to screen for potentially relevant studies, specifically "genetic polymorphisms" or "SNPs" or "variation" or "single nucleotide polymorphism" or "polymorphism" or "mutation" or "variant"; "X-ray repair cross complementing protein 1" or "Xeroderma Pigmentosum Group D Protein" or "X-ray repair cross complementing protein 1" or "Xeroderma Pigmentosum Group D Protein" or "XPD" or "Xeroderma Pigmentosum Complementation Group D Protein" or "ERCC2" or "XRCC1" or "XRCC1 DNA repair protein"; and "Cataract" or " Membranous Cataract" or " Pseudoaphakia."

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.
The comparison of the genotype distribution in XRCC1 within the different groups did not showany statistically significant associations (p > 0.05), except for the comparison between the pre-senile cataract group and the group without cataract, where an increased risk of developing pre-senile cataract for the genotype Gln/Gln (p = 0.029; OR = 1.02-40.67) in recessive inheritance models was observed when adjusting for risk factors.
By using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), we analysed XRCC1-Arg399Gln and XPD-Lys751Gln polymorphisms in 195 patients with cataract (75 patients with cortical, 53 with nuclear, 37 with posterior subcapsular, and 30 with mixed type) and in 194 otherwise healthy control group of similar age.
