Both of CCNH-V270A C/C or C/T and XPD 751 A/A showed a significant longer survival in the squamous cell carcinoma subgroup (P=0.047 and P=0.034 respectively).
Statistically significant association of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs13181 (ERCC2) with predisposition to Squamous Cell Carcinomas of the Head and Neck (SCCHN) and Breast cancer in the north Indian population.
Accumulation of certain alleles or genotypes of the CYP1A1, NAT2, GSTM1 and XPD seems to be associated with either increased or decreased risk to develop laryngeal SCC.
Combinations of polymorphisms in genes involved in the same repair pathway (XPA + XPD or XRCC1 + APE1) affected lung cancer risk only in patients with SCC.
