However, after stratifying the studies by ethnicity, <i>ERCC2</i>-rs1799793</span> polymorphism was associated with an increased risk of PCa in Asian patients and the relationship was subsequently validated with the allelic model, the homozygous model and the recessive model when extracting the data of Asian patients for specific analyses (B vs. A: OR = 1.537, 95%CI: 1.240-1.906, <i>P</i><sub>A</sub>< 0.001; BB vs. AA: OR = 2.089, 95%CI: 1.388-3.145, <i>P</i><sub>A</sub>< 0.001 and BB vs. BA + AA: OR = 1.929, 95%CI: 1.313-2.835, <i>P</i><sub>A</sub>= 0.020).
In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggests that there is no general association between the Asp312Asn, Lys751Gln, and Arg156Arg polymorphisms in XPD and prostate cancer susceptibility.
The Xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD, also referred to as excision repair cross complementing gene 2, ERCC2) is one of key genes involved in nucleotide excision repair and two potentially functional polymorphisms of XPD (Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln) have been widely investigated in various cancers including prostate cancer.
These findings indicated that the Asn allele of XPD Asp312Asn might be a risk-factor for developing prostate cancer among Asian and African men but protective for Caucasian population.
Haplotype analysis of XPD revealed one protective haplotype and four associated with an increased disease risk, which showed that the A allele (XPD rs1799793) appeared to drive the main effect on promoting prostate cancer risk.
Our investigations demonstrate that XPD Asn312Asp SNP not the Gln751Lys SNP, might poorly increase PCa risk in Asians and Africans, moreover, this SNPs may associate with the tumor stage of PCa.
For XPD Lys751Gln, the individuals with 751Gln did not have increased PCa risk compared with those with 751Arg, and no association was found in the subgroup analyses.
We examined the association between PC risk with nonsynonymous SNPs (nsSNPs) in 5 genes involved in 3 DNA-repair pathways: (1) base excision repair (BER): hOGG1 C1245G (Ser326Cys) and XRCC1 G28152A (Arg399Gln); (2) nucleotide excision repair (NER): XPD G23591A (Asp312Asn); (3) homologous recombination repair: RAD51 G135C (in 5' untranslated region) and XRCC3 C18067T (Thr241Met).
XPD Asp312Asn polymorphism is associated with PCa risk in Asians and hOGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphism is associated with PCa risk in Caucasians and Asians.
To determine whether the XRCC1 (codon Arg399Gln) and XPD (codon Asp312Asn and codon Lys751Gln) polymorphisms are associated with prostate cancer susceptibility, we genotyped these polymorphisms in a primarily Caucasian sample of 506 sibships (n = 1,117) ascertained through a brother with prostate cancer.

We found that the XRCC1-Arg399Gln AA and the MGMT-Leu84Phe CT+TT genotypes were associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer [odds ratio (OR), 2.18; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.99-4.81 and OR, 1.99; 95% CI, 1.19-3.34, respectively].

In a hospital-based case-control study of 1,004 PCa cases and 1,055 cancer-free controls, we genotyped eight potentially functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of NER genes (i.e., XPC, rs2228001 T>G and rs1870134 G>C; XPD, rs13181 T>G and rs238406 G>T; XPG, rs1047768 T>C, rs751402 C>T, and rs17655 G>C; and XPF, rs2276464 G>C) and assessed their associations with risk of PCa by using logistic regression analysis.
