Heterozygote carriers of SNPs in CYP1A2 1545T>C, -164C>A and -740T>G; CYP2A6 -47A>C; MDR1 3435T>C; NAT1 1088T>A and 1095A>C; GSTA2 S112T; GSTM3 V224I and MTHFR A222V had altered risk of developing lung cancer.
Two well-known polymorphic variants of MTHFR, C677T (rs1801133) and A1298C (rs1801131), were analyzed in association with lung cancer susceptibility, and discussed their joint effects with individual habits on lung cancer risk.
A review was conducted of 136 patients treated with radiation therapy for lung cancer between 2001 and 2007, and who had prior genotyping of functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms in oxidative stress genes including superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2; rs4880) and methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR; rs1801131, rs1801133).
In conclusion, this meta-analysis indicated that <i>MTRR</i> rs1801394 was significantly associated withLC in smokers, and <i>MTHFR</i> rs1801133 polymorphisms was also significantly associated with LC in smokers and East Asians.
