DNA Repair Gene XRCC4 Codon 247 Polymorphism Modified Diffusely Infiltrating Astrocytoma Risk and Prognosis
The DNA repair gene X-ray cross-complementary group 4 (XRCC4), an important caretaker of the overall genome stability, is thought to play a major role in human tumorigenesis. We investigated the association between an important polymorphic variant of this gene at codon 247 (rs373409) and diffusely infiltrating astrocytoma (DIA) risk and prognosis. This hospital-based case-control study investig...
متن کاملFactors predicting progression of low-grade diffusely infiltrating astrocytoma.
BACKGROUND Low-grade diffuse astrocytoma (DA) is considered benign tumor (World Health Organization [WHO] grade II), but it has an inherent tendency for malignant progression, which is quite variable. AIM To identify malignant progression in an individual case of DA, we studied the clinico-radiological and immunohistochemical factors and correlated with progression of DA at a dedicated tertia...
متن کاملOGG1 DNA Repair Gene Polymorphism As a Biomarker of Oxidative and Genotoxic DNA Damage
Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms in 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1) gene modulates DNA repair capacity and functions as one of the first lines of protective mechanisms against 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) mutagenicity. OGG1-Cys326 gene polymorphism may decrease DNA repair function, causing oxidative stress due to higher oxidative DNA damage. The main purpose of this stu...
متن کاملEvaluation of DNA repair gene XRCC1 polymorphism in prediction and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma risk.
We conducted a case-control study in China to clarify the association between XRCC1-Arg399Gln polymorphism and HCC risk. A total of 150 cases and 158 controls were selected from the the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from May 2008 to May 2010. XRCC1-Arg399Gln polymorphism was based upon duplex polymerase-chain-reaction with the confronting-two-pair primer (PCR-CTPP) method. All analy...
متن کاملDNA repair gene XRCC3 codon 241 polymorphism, its interaction with smoking and XRCC1 polymorphisms, and bladder cancer risk.
DNA repair efficiency varies among individuals, with reduced repair capacity as a risk factor for various cancers. This variability could be partly explained by allelic variants for different DNA repair genes. We examined the role of a common polymorphism in the XRCC3 gene (codon 241: threonine to methionine change) and bladder cancer risk. This gene plays a role in the homologous recombination...
