Heterozygous variants of rs1799832 in NUDT1 (HR = 2.97, 95% CI = 1.51-5.83) and rs13181 in ERCC2 (HR = 2.69, 95% CI = 1.10-6.55) were significantly associated with an increased risk of CRC compared with wild-type homozygous CC and TT genotypes, respectively.
In this study, we screened for the polymorphism variants Val83Met (c.247G>A, rs4866) in hMTH1; c.-53G>C (rs56387615), c.-23A>G (rs1801129) and c.-18G>T (rs1801126) in the 5'-UTR of hOGG1; and AluYb8 insertion in MUTYH (AluYb8MUTYH, rs10527342) and investigated their synergistic effect on the risk of T2DM in the Chinese population.
An SNP, Val83Met, in the MTH1 (microtT homolog 1) gene encoding a triphosphatase that hydrolyzes pro-mutagenic oxidized nucleoside triphosphates, such as 8-hydroxy-dGTP and 2-hydroxy-dATP, showed the strongest and a significant association with SCLC risk [odds ratio (OR)=1.6, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.2-2.2, P=0.004], while three other SNPs in the TP53, BLM and SNM1 genes, respectively, also showed marginal associations (0.05<P<0.1).
