An investigation on the polymorphisms of two DNA repair genes and susceptibility to ESCC and GCA of high-incidence region in northern China.
Molecular Biology Reports 2009 Februrary
AIM: To investigate the possible association of three SNPs, XRCC2 C41657T, XRCC2 G4234C and XRCC3 A17893G with susceptibility to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) in a population of northern China.
METHODS: XRCC2 C41657T, XRCC2 G4234C and XRCC3 A17893G SNP were genotyped by polymerase-chain reaction (PCR)-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis in 583 cancer patients (329 ESCC and 254 GCA) and 614 healthy controls.
RESULTS: The genotype distribution of the XRCC2 C41657T in ESCC and GCA patients were significantly different from that in healthy controls (P values = 0.04 and 0.04 respectively). And a significant difference was found in the allele distribution of GCA patients from that in controls (P = 0.01). The XRCC2 C41657T polymorphism was associated with a modest enhancement in ESCC risk and GCA risk: OR for C/T genotype was 1.38 (1.01-1.89) in GCA risk and for T/T genotype was 2.24 (1.10-4.57) in ESCC risk. When stratified for age, smoking status and family history of UGIC, the C/T genotype showed a modest significant trend on the risk of GCA patients in the groups of age < or =50 years and non-smokers, the adjusted OR were 2.84 (1.21-6.66) and 1.62 (1.06-2.49). The T/T genotype significantly increased the susceptibility of GCA patients in negative family history of UGIC (3.04, 1.02-8.32) and to ESCC patients in the group of age >50 years (3.03, 1.31-6.98), Negative family of UGIC (3.03, 1.12-7.07) and smokers (2.64, 1.02-6.83). The genotype and allele distribution of XRCC2 G4234C and XRCC3 A17893G in ESCC and GCA patients were not significantly different from that in healthy controls (all P values were above 0.05).
CONCLUSION: In this study, we found that the C41657T polymorphism of XRCC2 genes might modify the risk of ESCC and GCA development.
