The aim of this study was to investigate an association of the Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln polymorphisms of the XRCC1 gene with a risk of breast cancer occurrence and the response to adjuvant treatment among Polish women.
Genotyping of polymorphisms of XRCC1 (Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln), OGG1 (Ser326Cys and Arg229Gln), ERCC2 Lys751Gln, ERCC4 Ser662Pro, and ERCC5 His1104Asp was performed and used to evaluate breast cancer susceptibility.
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CYP2E1 (rs6413432 and rs3813867), STK15 (rs2273535 and rs1047972) and XRCC1 (rs1799782 and rs25487) have been associated with breast cancer risk in a meta-analysis but any link in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia, remained to be determined.
The overall results of the study suggest that Arg399Gln polymorphism of the XRCC1 gene alone may not play a substantial role in the risk of breast cancer among Chinese women.
This meta-analysis suggests the participation of XRCC1 Arg399Gln is a genetic susceptibility for hepatocellular cancer in Asians and breast cancer in Indians.
The study goal was to examine the association of three polymorphisms in the XRCC1 gene (Arg194Trp, Arg280His, and Arg399Gln) involved in repairing DNA damage produced by ionizing radiation, a known breast cancer (BC) risk factor, with BC incidence and the possibility of developing an adverse radiotherapy response.
Statistically significant correlations were identified between 4 single nucleotide polymorphisms and the breast cancer risk: rs25487 rs4987188 rs13181 and rs799917.
In the present study, we investigated the effect of two XRCC1 polymorphisms, Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln, on breast cancer risk in a case- control study involving Turkish breast cancer patients and healthy women.
The XRCC1 R399Q polymorphism showed an association with increased breast cancer risk in Serbia, especially in the hereditary form of the disease and in young breast cancer patients.
Allele 399Gln (OR 1.57; 95% CI 1.05-2.35), Arg399Gln of gene XRCC1 heterozygous genotype (OR 2.77; 95% CI 1.60-4.80), the combination of Arg399Gln/Arg72Pro of genes XRCC1/TP53 heterozygous genotype (OR 3.98; 95% CI 1.57-10.09), Arg399Gln/T309G of genes XRCC1/MDM2 (OR 3.0; 95% CI 1.18-7.56), as well as Arg399Gln/Arg72Pro/T309G of genes XRCC1/TP53/MDM2 (OR 6.40; 95% CI 1.18-34.63) were associated with BC in Kyrgyz women.
Here, we examined possible associations between polymorphisms in three important BER genes (OGG1 Ser326Cys, APEX1 Asp148Glu, XRCC1 Arg194Trp, XRCC1 Arg280His, XRCC1 Arg399Gln) and breast cancer incidence in Thai women.
This meta-analysis suggests that the XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism may significantly contribute to susceptibility of breast cancer in the American population.
Among postmenopausal women, rs25487 and rs25486 (OR = 1.24; 95% CI 1.01-1.51 and OR = 1.23; 95% CI 1.01-1.49, respectively, for combined heterozygous and homozygous variant compared with reference) were associated with increased risk of breast cancer.
In ethnic subgroups and using recessive model analysis: Arg399Gln increased breast cancer risk in Asians (OR = 1.26, 95% CI: 0.96-1.64) and Africans (OR = 1.80, 95% CI: 0.97-3.32), and also while only slightly increasing the breast cancer risk in Caucasians (OR = 1.08, 95% CI: 0.95-1.22).
The purpose of this case-control study was to evaluate the association of XRCC1 Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln polymorphisms with susceptibility to breast cancer (BC) in a Mexican population.
Our results suggest that menopausal age together with Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln XRCC1 gene polymorphisms might be involved in individual susceptibility to breast cancer.
We used a case-control study design (162 cases and 302 controls) to test the association between three amino acid substitution variants of DNA repair genes (XRCC1 Arg194Trp, XRCC1 Arg399Gln, and XRCC3 Thr241Met) and breast cancer susceptibility.
None of the three polymorphisms studied were significantly associated with breast cancer risk (XRCC1: Arg194Trp (OR=1.21, 95% CI: 0.78-1.88); Arg399Gln (OR=1.20, 95% CI: 0.80-1.79); XRCC3: Thr241Met (OR=1.04, 95% CI: 0.76-1.41).
Using data/samples collected from the first 752 Caucasians and 141 African-Americans in an ongoing case-control study, we examined the association between breast cancer risk and 18 non-synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) in four DNA repair pathways-(i) base excision repair: ADPRT V762A, APE1 D148E, XRCC1 R194W/R280H/R399Q and POLD1 R119H; (ii) nucleotide excision repair: ERCC2 D312N/K751Q, ERCC4 R415Q, ERCC5 D1104H and XPC A499V/K939Q; (iii) mismatch repair: MLH1 I219V, MSH3 R940Q/T1036A and MSH6 G39E and (iv) double-strand break repair: NBS1 E185Q and XRCC3 T241M.
In the present study, we specifically investigated whether common genetic variant in XRCC1 (exon 10, codon Arg399Gln) was associated with an altered risk of breast cancer.
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of OGG1 (Ser326Cys), XRCC1 (Arg399Gln), and APE1 (Asp148Glu and -141T/G) were genotyped and analyzed for their association with breast cancer risk using multivariate logistic regression models.
