Using the multifactor dimensionality reduction method, we found a model of gene-gene interactions associated with the risk of lung cancer: NBS1 (rs1805794)-XRCC1 (rs25487)-hOGG1 (rs1052133)-XPG (rs17655).
The CC genotype of NBS1 Glu185Gln may increase lung cancer risk only for males and smokers and may serve as a practical marker for early detective and predictive purposes of lung cancer.
The meta-analysis further confirmed the association between the variant rs1805794G>C and lung cancer</span> risk, that compared with the GG genotype, the carriers of C genotypes had a 1.30-fold risk of cancer (95% CI=1.14-1.49, P=8.49×10(-5)).
The functional polymorphism of NBS1 p.Glu185Gln is associated with an increased risk of lung cancer in Chinese populations: case-control and a meta-analysis.
These associations were: two SNPs rs1799793 and rs13181 in the ERCC2 gene and lung cancer (recessive model) and rs1805794 in the NBN gene and bladder cancer (dominant model).
We examined the association between two common NBS1 polymorphisms (Leu34Leu, Gln185Glu) and lung cancer risk in a population-based case-control study in Xuan Wei, China.
