We investigated the association between polymorphisms in excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) (rs3212986, rs2298881 and rs11615) and xeroderma pigmentosum-complementation group F (XPF) (rs2276466 and rs6498486) and risk of colorectal cancer.
Individuals carrying ERCC1 rs11615AA and XPF rs6498486 CC genotypes were associated with poorer response to chemotherapy when compared with wild-type genotype, with the ORs (95 % CI) of 0.48 (0.25-0.94) and 0.38 (0.14-1.00).
The ERCC1 rs11615 variant A/A genotype was associated </span>with increased breast cancer risk in codominant, dominant, and recessive models, and XPF rs6498486 variant C/C genotype carriers have a significantly increased breast cancer risk in codominant, dominant, and recessive models.
