Significant association of XRCC4 single nucleotide polymorphisms with prostate cancer susceptibility in Taiwanese males.
The DNA repair gene X-ray cross-complementing group 4 (XRCC4), a member of the non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ) repair system, plays a major role in the repair of the double-strand breaks of the DNA sequence. This gene is critical to the maintenance of overall genome stability, and is also thought to play a key role in human carcinogenesis. In this case-control study, several novel polymorphic...
متن کاملSignificant association of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase single nucleotide polymorphisms with prostate cancer susceptibility in taiwan.
Prostate cancer is the most common cause of cancer death in men and is a major health problem worldwide. Methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) plays an important role in folate metabolism and is also an important source of DNA methylation and DNA synthesis (nucleotide synthesis). To assess the association and interaction of genotypic polymorphisms in MTHFR and lifestyle factors with pros...
متن کاملSignificant association of ERCC6 single nucleotide polymorphisms with bladder cancer susceptibility in Taiwan.
AIM To evaluate the association between the polymorphisms of the ERCC6 DNA repair gene, which plays an important role in maintaining genome stability, and the risk of bladder cancer in Taiwan. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this hospital-based case-control study, the association of ERCC6 codon 399, 1097 and 1413 polymorphisms with bladder cancer risk in a Central Taiwanese population was first inve...
متن کاملSingle Nucleotide Polymorphisms Associated with Colorectal Cancer Susceptibility and Loss of Heterozygosity in a Taiwanese Population
Given the significant racial and ethnic diversity in genetic variation, we are intrigued to find out whether the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified in genome-wide association studies of colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibility in East Asian populations are also relevant to the population of Taiwan. Moreover, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) may provide insight into how variants alter C...
متن کاملSingle nucleotide polymorphisms and cancer susceptibility
A large number of genes associated with various cancer types contain single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). SNPs are located in gene promoters, exons, introns as well as 5'- and 3'- untranslated regions (UTRs) and affect gene expression by different mechanisms. These mechanisms depend on the role of the genetic elements in which the individual SNPs are located. Moreover, alterations in epigene...
