The present study has genotyped 334 subjects from North Indian population for xeroderma pigmentosum complementation Group C (XPC) rs2228001A>C, XPC rs77907221 polyadenylate (PAT) deletion/insertion (D/I), xeroderma pigmentosum complementation Group D - rs13181A>C, and xeroderma pigmentosum complementation Type G rs17655 G>C polymorphisms with polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-restriction-fragment length polymorphism or allele-specific PCR methods.
We have studied 11 polymorphisms in genes of drug detoxification pathways (NQO1, glutathione S-transferase pi) and DNA repair xeroderma pigmentosum, complementation group (3) (XPC(3), X-ray repair cross complementing protein (1)), Nijmegen breakage syndrome (1), excision repair cross-complementing rodent repair deficiency, complementation group (5) and X-ray repair cross complementing protein (3) and in the methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase gene (MTHFR(2), 677C>T, 1298A>C), involved in DNA synthesis.
