The genotype distribution of the XRCC1 gene indicates a role for base excision repair in the development of therapy-related acute myeloblastic leukemia

Polymorphisms in several DNA repair genes have been described. These polymorphisms may affect DNA repair capacity and modulate cancer susceptibility by means of gene-environment interactions. We investigated DNA repair capacity and its association with acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML). We studied polymorphisms in 3 DNA repair genes: XRCC1, XRCC3, and XPD. We also assessed the incidence of a functional polymorphism in the NQO1 gene, which is involved in protection of cells from oxidative damage. We genotyped the polymorphisms by using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment-length polymorphism analysis in 134 patients with de novo AML, 34 with therapy-related AML (t-AML), and 178 controls. The distributions of the XRCC3 Thr241Met and NQO1 Pro187Ser genotypes were not significantly different in patients and controls. However, the distribution of the XRCC1 Arg399Gln genotypes was significantly different when comparing the t-AML and control groups (chi(2), P =.03). The presence of at least one XRCC1 399Gln allele indicated a protective effect for the allele in controls compared with patients with t-AML (odds ratio 0.44; 95% confidence interval, 0.20-0.93). We found no interactions between the XRCC1 or XRCC3 and NQO1 genotypes. We also found no differences in the distribution of the XPD Lys751Gln or XRCC1 Arg194Trp genotypes. Our data provide evidence of a protective effect against AML in individuals with at least one copy of the variant XRCC1 399Gln allele compared with those homozygous for the common allele.     

Prognostic importance of DNA repair gene polymorphisms of <Emphasis Type="Italic">XRCC1</Emphasis> Arg399Gln and <Emphasis Type="Italic">XPD</Emphasis> Lys751Gln in lung cancer patients from India

Purpose Inter individual variation in lung cancer susceptibility may be modulated in part through genetic polymorphisms in the DNA repair genes, especially the genes involved in the Base Excision Repair (BER) and nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. Two of the genetic polymorphisms, XRCC1Arg399Gln and XPD Lys751Gln have been extensively studied in the association with lung cancer risk, although published studies have been inconclusive. Methods In order to verify the role of the common variant alleles in the XPD gene, we have genotyped 211 lung cancer patients and 211 healthy controls using PCR-RFLP assays in a hospital based, case-control study in an Indian population. Logistic regression models were fit to examine the relationship between the log odds of lung cancer and each covariate. Overall Survival in relation to various genotypes and clinicopathological factors were analyzed using Kaplan Meier estimates and hazard ratios were calculated using Cox Regression analysis. Results The carriers of XRCC1 399 AA genotypes were at higher risk of lung cancer (OR = 2.1, 95% CI:1.224–3.669, P = 0.007) than carriers of GG genotype. Subjects carrying 751 AC genotype were at an increased risk of carcinoma of the lung (OR = 1.8; 95% CI:1.233–2.807, P = 0.003) than subjects with AA genotypes. Compared to the XRCC1 399 GG/ XPD 751 AA reference genotype, the combined variants, XRCC1 399 GG/ XPD 751 AC+CC (OR = 1.9, 95% CI: 1.037–3.481), P = 0.03), XRCC1 399 GA+AA/ XPD 751 AA (OR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.020–2.833, P = 0.04), XRCC1 399 GA+AA/XPD 751 AC+CC (OR = 2.7, 95% CI: 1.582–4.864, P = 0.01), had significantly higher odds ratios. Increasing numbers of either XPD or XRCC1 variant alleles were associated with shorter overall survival, the risk being significant for the XRCC1 gene polymorphism (P = 0.01 by log-rank test). The hazard of dying was significant for the XRCC1 399 AA genotype (HR = 3.04, 95%CI: 1.393–6.670, P = 0.005). Higher tumour stage also came out as significant predictors of patient death. Conclusions These findings suggest that genetic polymorphisms in the DNA repair genes may modulate overall lung cancer susceptibility and that pathological stage and XRCC1 Arg399Gln independently predicted overall survival among Indian lung cancer patients.     

DNA repair genes polymorphisms in multiple myeloma: no association with XRCC1 (Arg399Gln) polymorphism, but the XRCC4 (VNTR in intron 3 and G-1394T) and XPD (Lys751Gln) polymorphisms is associated with the disease in Turkish patients

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the association between the polymorphisms in DNA repair genes (XPD, XRCC1, and XRCC4) and clinical parameters in patients with multiple myeloma (MM), their effects on prognosis and their roles in susceptibility to MM. Patients and methods: Sixty patients, diagnosed with MM and 70 individuals as the healthy control group were included in the study. Gene polymorphisms were detected with the polymerase chain reaction and/or polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. When the genotype frequencies of XPD (Llys751Gln) and XRCC1 (Arg399Gln) genes were examined in the patient and control groups, no significant difference was detected, while a significant association was found in XRCC4 (VNTR in intron 3 and G-1394T) polymorphisms. A significant association was found in the MM patients group for AA genotype and event-free survival (EFS) in terms of XPD (751) gene polymorphism (P = 0.047). When VNTR intron 3 polymorphism was compared for genotype frequency, DD genotype was found to be significantly low (P = 0.012) in the patient group, whereas GG and TT genotypes were found to be significantly lower in the patient group for the genotype frequency XRCC4 (G-1394T) polymorphism when compared to the control group (P = 0.015, P = 0.010, respectively). RESULTS: These data provide support for the hypothesis that a common variation in the genes encoding XRCC4 DNA repair proteins may contribute to susceptibility to myeloma. These findings require further validation in independent populations.

Identification of XRCC1 Arg399Gln and XRCC3 Thr241Met Polymorphisms in a Turkish Population and Their Association with the Risk of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

DNA repair systems are essential for cellular functions. Defects due to sequence variations in DNA repair genes can lead severe failure of cell functions and causing many cancer types including leukemia. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between XRCC1 Arg399Gln and XRCC3 Thr241Met polymorphisms and susceptibility to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) in Turkish patients. In addition, genotype distribution of these polymorphisms was compared with other populations. The frequencies of Arg399Gln and Thr241Met single nucleotide polymorphisms were studied in 25 CLL patients and 30 healthy individuals. Single nucleotide polymorphisms were genotyped by PCR–RFLP method. The genotype and allele frequencies of Arg399Gln and Thr241Met polymorphisms were not statistically different between the CLL patients and control group. The allelic frequency similarities were found between Turkish and Brazilian populations for Arg399Gln polymorphism. On the other hand, similarities were found between Turkish and other Caucasian populations for Thr241Met polymorphism. Marked differences were observed between American African versus Turkish and Chinese versus Turkish populations for Arg399Gln and Thr241Met polymorphisms respectively. These results indicate that Arg399Gln and Thr241Met polymorphisms were not associated with the development of CLL in Turkish population and ethnic differences is one of the most important factor for allele frequency differences.

目的 探讨DNA修复酶X线损伤交叉互补基因1(XRCC1 )外显子三个位点的基因多态性(Arg194Trp 、Arg280His、Arg399Gln)与结直肠癌(CRC)发病风险的关系.方法 以聚合酶链反应和限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)分析方法,采用病例-对照研究,对250例CRC患者(病例组,其中结肠癌128例,直肠癌122例)和213名健康人(对照组)的XRCC1基因三个位点的多态性进行了检测,采用SPSS 11.0软件包统计分析各位点的基因型分布和等位基因频率.结果 XRCC1基因194和399二个位点的各基因型频率在两组间分布差异均无统计学意义(P值均>0.05),但病例组XRCC1基因280 Arg/His基因型频率较对照组显著增高(校正后OR=1.66,95%CI:1.01～2.73,P=0.047).在直肠癌患者组中,280Arg/His基因型频率较对照组显著增高(OR=1.82,95%CI:1.02～3.27),携等位基因280His(Arg280His +His280His)的CRC患者的频率显著高于其在对照组中的频率(校正后OR=1.85,95%CI:1.06～3.22),而在结肠癌患者中风险系数相对较低且差异无统计学意义(校正后OR=1.31,95%CI:0.74～2.35).结论 XRCC1 Arg194Trp和 Arg399Gln基因多态性与结肠癌易感性无关,但280Arg/His基因型能增加CRC易感性,等位基因280His是直肠癌风险因素.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the correlation between three gene locus polymorphisms of X-ray repair cross-complementary protein 1 (XRCC1) exon (Arg194Trp, Arg280His and Arg399Gln) and the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Methods A case-control study was performed in 250 CRC patients (case group, 128 colon cancer patients and 122 rectal cancer patients) and 213 healthy individuals (control group). The three gene locus polymorphism of XRCC1 was tested by polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method. The genotype distribution and allele frequency of each locus was analyzed with SPSS 10.0 software. Results There was no significant difference in allele frequency of XRCC1 at 194 and 399 loci (P > 0.05). However, the 280 Arg/His allele frequency of XRCC1 was higher in case group than that in control group (OR=1.66,95%CI:1.01~2.73,P=0.047). The 280Arg/His allele frequency was higher in rectal cancer group than that in control group (OR =1.82,95%CI:1.02~3.27). The frequency of 280His allele (Arg280His and His280His) was higher in case group than that in control group (OR=1.85,95%CI:1.06~3.22). However, it was a relative low risk factor of colon cancer and there was no significant difference between colon cancer group and control group (OR=1.85, 95%CI:1.06~3.22). Conclusions There was no correlation between XRCC1 Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln polymorpohisms and the risk of CRC. However, 280Arg/His genotype may increase the risk of CRC, and 280His allele is a risk factor of rectal cancer.     

Polymorphisms in DNA repair genes XRCC1, XRCC3 and XPD, and colorectal cancer risk: a case–control study in an Indian population

Purpose

Genetic polymorphisms in DNA repair genes may influence variations in individual DNA repair capacity, which could be associated with the development of cancer. We detected the distributions of three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (XRCC1 Arg399Gln, XRCC3 Thr241Met and XPD Lys751Gln) in DNA repair genes, and assessed the associations of these genetic polymorphisms with colon and rectal cancer susceptibility as well as evaluated the interactions of gene–gene and gene–environment in a case–control study of an Indian population.

Methods

This case–control study was conducted with 302 cases (including 59 colon and 243 rectal cancer patients) and 291 cancer-free healthy controls. Genotypes were determined by PCR–RLFP assays. The effects [odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs)] of genetic polymorphisms on colorectal cancer were estimated using unconditional logistic regression.

Results

The XRCC1 399Gln allele was found to be associated with a significantly increased rectal cancer risk among men (OR = 1.65, 95% CI 1.04–2.64). Whereas the XRCC3 241Met allele showed a protective tendency against rectal cancer (OR = 0.68, 95% CI 0.46–1.02) for both men and women. Furthermore, a combination of the XRCC1 399Gln allele with XRCC3 Thr/Thr genotype and the XPD 751Gln allele demonstrated the highest rectal cancer risk (OR = 3.52, 95% CI 1.43–9.44).

Conclusions

The combined effects of putative risk alleles/genotypes for different DNA repair pathways may strengthen the susceptibility to rectal cancer.     

Polymorphisms of XRCC1 gene and risk of gastric cardiac adenocarcinoma

X-ray repair cross complementing 1 (XRCC1) protein plays an important role in base excision repair. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in XRCC1 gene may affect DNA repairing ability and genetic susceptibility to cancer. This study was designed to investigate the correlation of XRCC1 Arg194Trp Arg280His and Arg399Gln SNPs with the risk of gastric cardiac adenocarcinoma (GCA). Genotypes were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism assay in 455 patients with GCA and 650 age- and sex-matched controls. We did not find any significant difference in allele and genotype distributions of Arg194Trp Arg399Gln between the groups ( P  > 0.05). However, a significant increase in GCA risk was seen among smokers if they carried at least one XRCC1 280His ( Arg280His  +  His280His ) genotype (odds ratio = 1.59, 95% confidence interval = 1.01–2.51) compared with smokers not carrying these genotype. Our results indicated that XRCC1 Arg194Trp and Arg 399 Gln SNPs might not be associated with the risk of GCA. However, smokers with His allele at codon 280 had a significantly increased risk of GCA.     

Adenosine diphosphate ribosyl transferase and x-ray repair cross-complementing 1 polymorphisms in gastric cardia cancer

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Adenosine diphosphate ribosyl transferase (ADPRT) and x-ray repair cross-complementing 1 (XRCC1) are major DNA base excision repair proteins acting interactively in repair processes. This study examined the effects of ADPRT Val762Ala and XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphisms on ADPRT-XRCC1 interaction in vitro in cells and their contributions to gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) risk. METHODS: The ADPRT-XRCC1 interaction in cells transfected with ADPRT and XRCC1 variant complementary DNA (cDNA) constructs were examined by immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting analysis. Genotypes were analyzed in 500 patients and 1000 controls, and odds ratios (ORs) were estimated by logistic regression. RESULTS: Interactions between ADPRT-762Val and XRCC1-399Arg or XRCC1-399Gln were robust, but interactions between ADPRT-762Ala and either XRCC1-399Arg or XRCC1-399Gln were very weak. A case-control analysis showed ORs of 2.17 (95% CI, 1.55-3.04) and 1.61 (95% CI, 1.06-2.44) for GCA in the ADPRT Ala/Ala or XRCC1 Gln/Gln genotype carriers, respectively, compared with noncarriers. Gene-gene interaction of ADPRT and XRCC1 polymorphisms increased the OR of GCA in a multiplicative manner (OR for the presence of both ADPRT Ala/Ala and XRCC1 Gln/Gln genotypes, 6.43; 95% CI, 1.80-22.97). A supermultiplicative joint effect between the ADPRT polymorphism and smoking was observed. The ORs (95% CIs) of the Ala/Ala genotype for nonsmokers and smokers who smoked < or = 24 or > 24 pack-years were 1.44 (0.89-2.32), 2.00 (1.09-3.67), or 3.19 (1.59-6.42), respectively (Ptrend test = .008). CONCLUSIONS: The ADPRT and XRCC1 polymorphisms confer host susceptibility to GCA, which might result from reduced ADPRT-XRCC1 interaction and attenuated base excision repair capacity.     

XPD基因单核苷酸多态性与晚期非小细胞肺癌对铂类药物敏感性的关系

目的 研究DNA修复基因着色性干皮病基因(XPD) Lys751Gln和XPD Asp312Asn基因多态性与非小细胞肺癌化疗铂类敏感性的关系.方法 收集经病理学确诊的晚期非小细胞肺癌87例,所有病例化疗前抽静脉血,提取DNA,用多聚酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-RFLP)分析技术检测XPD Lys751Gln和XPD Asp312Asn基因型,比较不同基因型与铂类化疗疗效的关系及与无进展生存时间的关系.结果 总有效率43.7%,CR 3例(3.45%),PR 35例(40.23%),SD 20例(22.99%),PD 29例(33.33%),携带XPD751Lys/Lys、Lys/GIn基因型的患者,客观有效(CR+PR)分别为36例(48.6%)、2例(15.4%)二者相比差异有统计学意义(P=0.026).携带XPD 312Asp/Asp、Asp/Asn基因型的患者,客观有效(CR+PR)分别为35例(40.23%)、3例(30.0%)二者相比差异无统计学意义(P=0.556).携带XPD751 Lys/Lys、Lys/Gln与XPD312 Asp/Asp、Asp/Asn基因型的患者无进展生存时间(PFS)分别为6.7和5.9个月、6.5和6.4个月,无统计学意义(P=0.170、P=0.674).Cox回归模型分析显示XPD751位点基因型为Lys/Gln的患者疾病进展风险是基因型为Lys/Lys的患者的2.383倍(P=0.006).XPD751位点基因型为Lys/Gln可能是疾病进展较早的因素.结论 XPD Lys751Gln单核苷酸多态性与晚期非小细胞肺癌铂类药物耐药有关.未发现XPD基因单核苷酸多态性与无进展生存时间相关,但XPD751位点基因型为Lys/Gln可能是疾病进展较早的危险因素.     

Rheumatoid arthritis risk associates with DNA repair gene XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism in Turkish patients

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoinflammatory disease with a genetic background. The synoviocytes in RA shows cellular transformation with tumor-like features, and RA patients have genomic instability and relaxation of DNA repair mechanisms. The polymorphisms in BER repair pathway genes, XRCC1 and OGG1, may change the response to inflammation via altered DNA repair capacity. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between the risk of RA and XRCC1 Arg194Trp, Arg399Gln, and OGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphisms in a group of Turkish RA patients. XRCC1 Arg194Trp, Arg399Gln, and OGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphisms were investigated by PCR–RFLP method in 100 RA patients and 158 healthy control subjects. The results were statistically analyzed by calculating the odds ratios (OR) and their 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) using the χ²-tests. RA patients in this study had significantly higher frequencies of XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism in both homozygote (GG) (35%, OR: 7.78 [95% CI: 3.65–16.59], P < 0.001) and heterozygote (AG) forms (41%, OR: 2.17 [95% CI: 1.19–3.96], P < 0.01) and also increased frequency of 399Gln (G) allele (55%, OR:2.99 [95% CI: 1.67–5.37], P < 0.001). We conclude that XRCC1 Arg194Trp, and OGG1 Ser326Cys polymorphisms are not associated with RA; however, Arg399Gln polymorphism is a significant risk factor of RA, and carriers of 399Gln (G) allele have greater risk of RA.     

Excision repair cross-complementing group 2/Xeroderma pigmentousm complementation group D (ERCC2/XPD) genetic variations and susceptibility to diffuse large B cell lymphoma in Egypt

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a genetically heterogeneous neoplasm. Although several genetic and environmental factors have been postulated, no obvious risk factors have been emerged for DLBCL in the general population. DNA repair systems are responsible for maintaining the integrity of the genome and protecting it against genetic alterations that can lead to malignant transformation. The current study aimed at investigating the possible role of ERCC2/XPD Arg156Arg, Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln genetic polymorphisms as risk factors for DLBCL in Egypt. The study included 81 DLBCL patients and 100 healthy controls. Genotyping of the studied genetic polymorphisms was performed by polymerase chain reaction–restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. Our results revealed that there was no statistical difference encountered in the distribution of ?Asp312Asn and ?Lys751Gln polymorphic genotypes between DLBCL cases and controls, thus it could not considered as molecular risk factors for DLBCL in Egyptians. However, Arg156Arg polymorphism at exon-6 conferred twofold increased risk of DLBCL (OR 2.034, 95 %CI 1.015–4.35, p = 0.43), and the risk increased when co-inherited with Lys751Gln at exon-23 (OR 3.304, 95 %CI 1.113–9.812, p = 0.038). In conclusion, ERCC2/XPD Arg156Arg polymorphism might be considered as a genetic risk factor for DLBCL in Egyptians, whether alone or conjoined with Lys751Gln.

A meta-analysis of XRCC1 single nucleotide polymorphism and susceptibility to gynecological malignancies

Background:Gynecological malignant tumor is a serious threat to women''s health, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer and ovarian cancer are the most common. The eponymous protein encoded by the XRCC1 (X-ray repair cross complementation 1) gene is an important functional protein in the process of single-stranded DNA damage. Non-synonymous mutations of XRCC1 gene cause amino acid sequence changes that affect protein function and DNA repair ability, and may affect the interaction with other DNA repair proteins, leading to increased risk of tumor development. Many studies have assessed the association between XRCC1 gene polymorphism and the risk of cancer in the female reproductive system, but the results have been inconclusive. In this study, the relationship between XRCC1 Arg399Gln, Arg194Trp, Arg280His single nucleotide polymorphisms and susceptibility to gynecological malignancies was further explored by meta-analysis.Methods:English database: Pubmed, Medline, Excerpta Medica Database, Cochrance, etc; Chinese database: China national knowledge infrastructure, Wanfang Database, etc. STATA14 was used for statistical analysis, such as odd ratio (OR) value, subgroup analysis, heterogeneity test, sensitivity analysis, and publication bias.Results:In gynecologic cancers, the allele frequency difference of Arg399Gln case control group was statistically significant (GvsA: P = .007). There was no significant difference in allele frequency in the Arg194Trp and Arg280His case control groups (P = .065, 0.198). In different gene models, Arg399Gln was significantly correlated with gynecologic cancers susceptibility (GGvs AA: OR 0.91; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.85 0.98); Arg194Trp was significantly correlated with gynecologic cancers susceptibility (CCvs TT: OR 0.94; 95% CI 0.88,1.00; CCvs CT: OR 0.97; 95% CI 0.90, 1.05); Arg280His was significantly correlated with gynecologic cancers susceptibility (GGvs AA: OR 0.98; 95% CI 0.94, 1.02; GGvs GA: OR 1.00;95% CI 0.97, 1.04). In the subgroup analysis, Arg399Gln and Arg194Trp were significantly correlated with gynecologic cancers susceptibility in the Asian race (P = .000, 0.049). In the analysis of different cancer subgroups, Arg399Gln and cervical cancer susceptibility were statistically significant (P = .039). Arg194Trp and endometrial cancer susceptibility were statistically significant (P = .033, 0.001).Conclusions:XRCC1 Arg399Gln, Arg194Trp, Arg280His single nucleotide polymorphisms were associated with gynecologic cancer susceptibility. Arg399Gln genotype was statistically significant in relation to cervical cancer susceptibility. Arg194Trp genotype was statistically significant in relation to endometrial cancer susceptibility.     

Polymorphisms of DNA repair genes XRCC1 and XRCC3, interaction with environmental exposure and risk of chronic gastritis and gastric cancer

AIM: To evaluate the association between polymorphisms XRCC1 Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln and XRCC3 Thr241Met and the risk for chronic gastritis and gastric cancer, in a Southeastern Brazilian population. METHODS: Genotyping by PCR-RFLP was carried out on 202 patients with chronic gastritis (CG) and 160 patients with gastric cancer (GC), matched to 202 (CI) and 150 (C2) controls, respectively. RESULTS: No differences were observed among the studied groups with regard to the genotype distribution of XRCCl codons 194 and 399 and of XRCC3 codon 241. However, the combined analyses of the three variant alleles (194Trp, 399Gln and 241Met) showed an increased risk for chronic gastritis when compared to the GC group. Moreover, an interaction between the polymorphic alleles and demographic and environmental factors was observed in the CG and GC groups. XRCC1 194Trp was associated with smoking in the CG group, while the variant alleles XRCC1 399Gln and XRCC3 241Met were related with gender, smoking, drinking and H pylori infection in the CG and GC groups. CONCLUSION: Our results showed no evidence of a rela-tionship between the polymorphisms XRCCl Argl94Trp and Arg399Gln and XRCC3 Thr241Met and the risk of chronic gastritis and gastric cancer in the Brazilian population, but the combined effect of these variants may interact to increase the risk for chronic gastritis, considered a premalignant lesion. Our data also indicate a gene-environment interaction in the susceptibility to chronic gastritis and gastric cancer.     

X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 polymorphisms and hepatocellular carcinoma: a meta-analysis

AIM: To perform a systematic meta-analysis to investigate the association between X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) polymorphisms and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) risk.METHODS: Relevant studies extracted from PubMed, Embase, Wanfang, VIP and the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure databases up to March 2012 were included in the study. Stata software, version 11.0, was used for the statistical analysis. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of the XRCC1 polymorphisms in HCC patients were analyzed and compared with healthy controls. The meta-analysis was performed using fixed-effect or random-effect methods, depending on the absence or presence of significant heterogeneity.RESULTS: Eleven studies with 2075 HCC cases and 2604 controls met our eligibility criteria (four studies, 888 cases and 938 controls for Arg194Trp, four studies, 858 cases and 880 controls for Arg280His, and nine studies, 1845 cases and 2401 controls for Arg399Gln). The meta-analysis revealed no associations between the Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln polymorphisms of the XRCC1 gene and HCC risk under all contrast models (codominant, dominant and recessive models) in the overall analysis and sensitivity analysis (the studies with controls not in the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium were excluded). For XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphism, the overall analysis revealed the significant association between the His/His genotype and the increased risk of HCC (His/His vs Arg/Arg model, OR: 1.96, 95% CI: 1.03-3.75, P = 0.04). However, sensitivity analysis showed an altered pattern of result and non-significant association (OR: 2.06, 95% CI: 0.67-6.25, P = 0.20). The heterogeneity hypothesis test did not reveal any heterogeneity, and Begg’s and Egger’s tests did not find any obvious publication bias.CONCLUSION: The XRCC1 Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln polymorphisms are not associated with HCC risk. More rigorous association studies are needed to verify the involvement of XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphism in HCC susceptibility.     

DNA修复基因XRCC1 Arg194Trp Arg280His和Arg399Gln多态性与前列腺癌相关性的Meta分析

目的探讨DNA修复基因X线修复交叉互补因子1（XRCC1）主要单核苷酸多态性与前列腺癌易感性的关系。方法在MEDLINE、EMBASE和OVID数据库上检索文献,收集及提取符合纳入标准的以XRCC1密码子194、280、399多态性与前列腺癌易感性为内容的病例对照研究文献,应用Stata统计软件进行Meta分析,比值比（ORs）及其95%可信区间（95%CI）评价关联强度;应用SPSS软件分析吸烟与前列腺癌关系,OR？评价其相对危险度。结果 XRCC1 399 Gln/Gln和XRCC1 280 Arg/His与前列腺癌的发病风险有关（Gln/Gln vs Arg/Arg：OR？=1.27,95%CI=1.02～1.59;Arg/His vs Arg/Arg：OR？=1.66,95%CI=1.09～2.52）,尤其在亚组分析中亚洲人的Gln/Gln明显增加了前列腺癌的发病风险（OR？=1.52,95%CI=1.18～1.96）;Arg194Trp与前列腺癌的发病风险无明显关联。吸烟是前列腺癌的危险因素（χ2=13.974,P=0.000,OR？=1.22）。结论 XRCC1 399 Gln/Gln和280 Arg/His可能与前列腺癌的易感性相关。
