DNA repair gene polymorphisms and bladder cancer susceptibility in a Turkish population.

چکیده
BACKGROUND Occupational exposure and life style preferences, such as smoking are the main known environmental susceptibility factors for bladder cancer. A growing list of chemicals has been shown to induce oxidative DNA damage. Base excision repair (BER) genes (X-ray repair cross complementing 1, XRCC1 and human 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase 1, OGG1) may play a key role in maintaining genome integrity and preventing cancer development. MATERIALS AND METHODS We tested whether polymorphisms in XRCC1 and OGG1 are associated with bladder cancer risk by using Polymerase Chain Reaction-Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) assay. In addition, the possible modifying affect of cigarette smoking was evaluated. RESULTS No studies, to date, have examined the association between genetic polymorphisms in DNA repair genes and bladder cancer susceptibility, in the Turkish population. We found the OGG1 Cys326Cys genotype to be more frequent among bladder cancer patients (odds ratio (OR): 2.41 (95% CI, 1.36-4.25)). However, in the case of XRCC1, there was no significant difference in susceptibility to bladder cancer development between patients with the Arg399 and these with the Gln399 allele (OR. 0.72 (95% CI, 0.41-1.26)). CONCLUSION Our data showed that OGG1 genetic polymorphisms might be useful as prognostic genetic markers for bladder cancer in the clinical setting.

Background: Gastric cancer is one of the most common malignancies in the world. It may result from a defect in the genes involved in DNA repair. One of the essential genes in the repair pathway is the XRCC1 gene that its polymorphisms in the human population play a role in gastric cancer susceptibility. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the association of 194C/T and 399G/A polym...

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common worldwide malignancies among women. Biological data suggest that damage induced by endogenous and exogenous factors affects the integrity of DNA and associated with susceptibility to breast cancer. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair genes can associated with differences in the repair efficiency of DNA damage and may affect br...

Abstract Background: Sporadic colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer in Iran. The DNA repair protein O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is involved in the cellular defense against alkylating agents. Genetic alterations in the MGMT gene may impair the protein’s ability to remove alkyl groups from the O6-position of guanine, thereby raising the mutation rate and increasi...

AIM To investigate the gene susceptibility of bladder cancer and potential relation with smoking. METHODS An analysis of SNPs were conducted among DNA repair genes of XPC, XPG, XRCC1, and six members of metabolic enzyme gene CYP 450 via TaqMan Probe-based polymerase chain reaction. A total of 130 patients with bladder cancer and 304 healthy controls were involved. RESULTS Polymorphisms of X...
