Abstract
Non-Obstructive Azoospermia (NOA) affects about 1% of men in the general population and is characterized by clinical heterogeneity implying the involvement of several different acquired and genetic factors. NOA men are at higher risk to be carriers of known genetic anomalies such as karyotype abnormalities and Y-chromosome microdeletions in respect to oligo-normozoospermic men. In recent years, a growing number of novel monogenic causes have been identified through Whole Exome Sequencing (WES). Genetic testing is useful for diagnostic and pre-TESE prognostic purposes as well as for its potential relevance for general health. Several epidemiological observations show a link between azoospermia and higher morbidity and mortality rate, suggesting a common etiology for NOA and some chronic diseases, including cancer. Since on average 50% of NOA patients has a positive TESE outcome, the identification of genetic factors in NOA patients has relevance also to the offspring's health. Although still debated, the observed increased risk of certain neurodevelopmental disorders, as well as impaired cardiometabolic and reproductive health profile in children conceived with ICSI from NOA fathers may indicate the involvement of transmissible genetic factors. This review provides an update on the reproductive and general health consequences of known genetic factors causing NOA, including offspring's health.

Abstract
Recent epidemiological studies have identified an association between male factor infertility and increased cancer risk, however, the underlying etiology for the shared risk has not been investigated. It is likely that much of the association between the two disease states can be attributed to underlying genetic lesions. In this article we review the reported associations between cancer and spermatogenic defects, and through database searches we identify candidate genes and gene classes that could explain some of the observed shared genetic risk. We discuss the importance of fully characterizing the genetic basis for the relationship between cancer and male factor infertility and propose future studies to that end.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Glioma is the most common adult brain tumors. Dietary factors may play a role in the etiology of glioma. The Index of Nutritional Quality (INQ) provides a general overview for the nutrient content of a food or a diet. This study aimed to investigate the association between INQ and glioma and nutrient intakes. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study was included 128 patients and 256 controls. Dietary intakes of the subjects were evaluated by a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and FFQ-derived dietary data were used to calculate INQ scores. Logistic regression was used to calculate the odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. RESULTS Cases had higher intake of total fat, saturated fatty acid (SFA), meats, hydrogenated oils and controls had higher intake of monounsaturated fatty acid, polyunsaturated fatty acid, calcium, dairy, fruits, and nuts. Only the INQ of vitamin C, vitamin E, calcium, and fiber are higher in controls. An inverse association was observed between glioma and INQ of calcium, vitamin E, vitamin C, and fiber. CONCLUSION The results of this study propose a healthy diet such as high intake of vitamins C and E, calcium, fiber, food groups like fruits and vegetables, and low-fat milk and nuts; and low consumption of total fat, SFA, and red meat may be protective against glioma.

Abstract
To investigate correlations between excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) and 2 (ERCC2) polymorphisms and osteosarcoma prognosis, we conducted a meta-analysis of studies published through October 2016. Studies were identified in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, Springer, and Web of Science databases using preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA). Odds ratios (ORs) or hazard ratios (HRs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for overall survival (OS), tumor response (TR), and event-free survival (EFS) were estimated. Our meta-analysis included eleven studies in which four SNPs (ERCC1 rs11615 and rs3212986, ERCC2 rs13181 and rs1799793) reportedly associated with osteosarcoma prognosis were investigated. Each of these studies scored > 6 on the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). We found that only one SNP, ERCC1 rs11615, correlated with improved OS and TR. The HR of T vs. C for OS was 1.455 (T/C, 95% CI = 1.151–1.839, P = 0.002, I2 = 37.80%). The OR of T vs. C for good TR was 0.554 (T/C, 95% CI = 0.437–0.702, P < 0.001, I2 = 0%). Few significant outcome was observed in subgroup analyses stratified based on study characteristics with adjustments for potential confounders. Our results suggest that ERCC1 rs11615 CC is associated with a better clinical outcome. This suggests rs11615 may be a useful genetic marker for predicting osteosarcoma prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A number of studies have investigated the roles of excision repair cross complementation group 1 (ERCC1), ERCC2, and ERCC5 genes polymorphisms in the development of glioma; however, the results were inconsistent. Here, we performed a meta-analysis to investigate the association between 6 polymorphisms in the ERCC genes (rs3212986, rs11615, rs13181, rs1799793, rs238406, rs17655) and glioma risk. METHODS The PubMed, Embase, and Web of science were searched up to September 6, 2016, for studies on the association between ERCC polymorphisms and glioma risk. A fixed-effects or random-effects model was used to calculate the pooled odds ratios based on the results from the heterogeneity tests. Sensitivity and cumulative meta-analyses were also performed. RESULTS A total of 15 studies were eligible for the pooled analysis, conducted in 2 populations of ethnic descent: 8 Europeans and 7 Asians. The results showed that ERCC1 rs3212986 polymorphism was positively associated with glioma [AA vs CC: odds ratio (OR) = 1.298, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) = 1.043-1.230, P = .025]. Association of the ERCC2 rs13181 and rs1799793 polymorphisms was only observed in Asians (CC vs AA for rs13181: OR = 1.539, 95% CI = 1.122-2.109, P = .007; AA vs GG for rs1799793: OR = 1.474, 95% CI = 1.090-1.994, P = .012). However, no association was observed between glioma risk and ERCC1 rs11615, ERCC2 rs238406, and ERCC5 rs17655 polymorphisms. Moreover, sensitivity and cumulative meta-analyses confirmed the stability of the results. CONCLUSIONS Our meta-analysis indicated that the ERCC1 rs3212986 polymorphism and 2 polymorphisms in ERCC2 gene (rs13181 and rs1799793) contributed to the susceptibility of glioma.

Abstract
Within DNA repair genes, there lie a number of single nucleotide polymorphisms that may impair protein function and attenuate DNA repair capability, resulting in genomic instability and individual predisposition to malignancies. The purpose of this study was to assess the previously reported inconsistent association of polymorphisms in ERCC1 (rs11615, rs3212986), ERCC2 (rs13181, rs1799793, rs238406), and ERCC5 (rs17655) with the development of brain tumors. In the present work, we carried out a comprehensive meta-analysis of results from all published data (5 data sets for rs11615, 7 for rs3212986, 11 for rs13181, 5 for rs1799793, 3 for rs238406, and 4 for rs17655) to evaluate risk of brain tumors contributed by the polymorphisms being investigated. Either the analytic method described by Mantel and Haenszel or that proposed by DerSimonian and Laird was properly used to summarize the risk estimates (OR and 95% CI). Data analyses were done with Stata version 12.0. Meta-analyses were performed for all polymorphisms, and only rs3212986 in the ERCC1 gene showed a significant association with glioma incidence. In the homozygote comparison, we found 1.26-fold elevated risk of glioma in relation to presence of the AA genotype (OR = 1.26, 95% CI = 1.05-1.52, P OR = 0.013, P heterogeneity = 0.849, I(2) = 0.0%). We also noted that individuals with the rs3212986-AA as compared to those with rs3212986-CC/CA had a 28% higher risk to develop glioma (OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.06-1.53, P OR = 0.008, Pheterogeneity = 0.808, I(2) = 0.0%). No major effects were observed for Caucasians or Asians in subgroup analysis by ethnicity. ERCC1 rs3212986 is a common single nucleotide polymorphism and may contribute toward individual susceptibility for glioma. Further research in this filed is required to verify the association obtained based on a relatively small number.

Abstract
Background Gliomas are aggressive tumors of the central nervous system that rely on production of growth factors for tumor progression. Interleukin 8 (IL-8) is up-regulated in gliomas to promote angiogenesis and proliferation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of the IL-8 -251 T/A and +781 C/T polymorphisms and glioma risk. Methods We enrolled 300 glioma patients and 300 age- and gender-matched healthy controls. A prospective hospital-based case–control design and logistic regression analysis were utilized. The IL-8 gene polymorphisms were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Results Glioma patients had a significantly higher frequency of IL-8 -251 AA genotype [odds ratio (OR) =1.91, 95 % confidence interval (CI) = 1.22, 3.00; P = 0.005] and IL-8 -251 A allele (OR =1.36, 95 % CI = 1.08, 1.70; P = 0.009) than controls. When stratified by the grade of glioma, patients with WHO IV glioma had a significantly higher frequency of IL-8 -251 AA genotype (OR =1.56, 95 % CI = 1.01, 2.39; P = 0.04). Conclusions To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report in the literature that the IL-8 -251 AA genotype and A allele were at a higher risk for glioma.

Abstract
The pathogenesis of glioma remains largely unknown now. It has been suggested that the X-ray cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) gene may influence the capacity to repair DNA damage leading to an increased gliomas susceptibility. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between XRCC1 polymorphisms and glioma risk. Genotypes were assessed in 368 Chinese glioma patients and 346 healthy controls. XRCC1 Arg194Trp (rs1799782), Arg280His (rs25489) and Arg399Gln (rs25487) and three additional polymorphisms were directly sequenced. The frequency of Arg280His A allele was significant lower in glioma group than in healthy controls [9.6 vs 16%, OR=0.60 (0.46-0.80), P<0.001]; the frequencies of GA or AA genotypes were different in two groups (16.6 vs 22.8%, 1.3 vs 4.7%). The frequency of Arg399Gln A allele was significant higher in glioma group than in healthy controls [38.7 vs 30.1%, OR=1.29 (1.11-1.49), P=0.001]; the frequencies of GA or AA genotypes were different in two groups (45.4 vs 38.2%, 16 vs 10.9%). This study demonstrates that the rs25489 (Arg280His) and Arg399Gln (rs25487) polymorphisms in XRCC1 gene might influence the risk of developing glioma in Chinese population.

Abstract
We conducted a case-control study to assess the role of three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) and two SNPs in excision repair cross-complementation group 2 (ERCC2) on the glioma risk in a Chinese population, and investigate the gene-environmental interaction for the cancer risk. A 1:2 matched case-control study was conducted. Logistic regression analysis revealed that individuals carrying ERCC1 rs2298881 CC genotype were associated with risk of glioma when compared with AA genotype carriers. The significant associations of ERCC1 rs2298881 polymorphism with glioma susceptibility were observed in both the dominant and the recessive models. In a stratification analysis, we found that ERCC1 rs2298881 variants showed an increased association with the risk of glioma in males, ever smokers, and high-grade glioma cases. In conclusion, our study suggests that ERCC1 rs2298881 polymorphism is associated with risk of glioma in codominant, dominant, and recessive models, especially in males, smokers, and high-grade glioma cases. This finding could be useful in revealing the genetic characteristics of glioma and suggests more effective strategies for prevention and treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Epidemiologic studies evaluating the association between the intake of vegetables and fruit and the risk for glioma have produced inconsistent results. Therefore, the aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that higher vegetable and fruit intake may have a protective effect on risk for glioma. METHODS Pertinent studies were identified by a search in PubMed, Web of Knowledge, and Wan Fang Med Online up to January 2014. Random-effect model was used to combine study-specific results. Publication bias was estimated using Begg's funnel plot and Egger's regression asymmetry test. RESULTS Fifteen studies involving 5562 cases focusing on vegetable intake and 17 studies involving 3994 cases of fruit intake compared with the risk for glioma were included in this meta-analysis. The combined relative risk (RR) of glioma associated with vegetable intake was 0.775 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.688-0.872) overall, and the association for subgroup analysis by study design, sources of control, ethnicity, and number of cases was consistent with overall data. For fruit intake and glioma risk, significant protective associations were found in an Asian population (RR, 0.573; 95% CI, 0.346-0.947), but not in a white population. No publication bias was found. CONCLUSIONS This analysis indicated that intake of vegetables might have a protective effect on glioma. The intake of fruit might have a protective effect on glioma in the Asian population; however, the results need to be confirmed.
