RESUMO
Objective: To assess the role of XPG, XPC, CCNH and MMS19L polymorphisms response to chemotherapy in osteosarcoma, and the clinical outcome of osteosarcoma
Methods: One hundred and sixty eight osteosarcoma patients who were histologically confirmed were enrolled in our study between January 2007 and March 2009. Genotyping of XPG, XPC, CCNH and MMS19L was performed in a 384-well plate format on the MassARRAY[registered] platform
Results: Individuals with rs2296147 TT genotype showed a better response as compared with CC genotype, with the OR [95% CI] of 3.89[1.49-10.95]. Those carrying rs29001322 TT genotype presented better response to chemotherapy, and the OR [95% CI] was as high as 12.25[2.63-121.84]. Patients carrying TT genotype of XPG rs2296147 and MMS19L rs29001322 showed a significantly longer overall survival than CC genotype, they had 0.37 and 0.31-fold risk of death when compared with wide-type of this gene
Conclusions: XPG rs2296147 and MMS19L rs29001322 are correlated with response to chemotherapy and prognosis of osteosarcoma. Our findings would provide important evidence for prognostic and therapeutic implications in osteosarcoma
