Genetic polymorphisms of DNA repair genes XPD, XPC, and XRCC4 in relation to colorectal cancer susceptibility / 中国肿瘤临床

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the association of XPD rs13181 (codon751A/C, Lys751Gln), rs238406 (codon156C/A, Arg156Arg), XPC rs2279017 (i11C/A), and XRCC4 rs3734091 (codon247T/C, Ala247Ser) polymorphisms with colorectal cancer (CRC) susceptibility. Methods:A total of 338 patients with CRC who were treated at the Beijing Cancer Hospital from April 2013 to January 2016 (case group) and 315 healthy controls (control group) were genotyped using TaqMan technology. Results:The genotype GT and G alleles of XPD rs13181 increased the risk of CRC (GT>TT, adjusted OR=1.69, 95%CI=1.15-2.47, P=0.007;G>T, adjusted OR=1.77, 95%CI=1.19-2.64, P=0.005). The genotype GT and T alleles of XRCC4 rs3734091 increased the susceptibility of CRC (GT>GG, adjusted OR=9.02, 95%CI=5.61-14.50, PG, adjusted OR=4.06, 95%CI=2.49-6.61, P<0.001). Analyses of XPD rs13181 and rs238406 indicated that the haplotype GT significantly decreased the risk of CRC (adjusted OR=0.39, 95%CI=0.18-0.85, P=0.018). Moreover, the combinations of the XPC rs2279017 G allele and the XRCC4 rs3734091 T allele (adjusted OR=28.43, 95%CI=6.85-117.95, P<0.001) and the XPD rs13181 G allele and the XRCC4 rs3734091 T allele (adjusted OR=10.24, 95%CI=4.69-22.35, P<0.001) exhibited significantly increased CRC risk. Conclusion:The polymorphisms of XPD rs13181 and XRCC4 rs3734091 increased the risk of CRC.
