Conway E, Wu H, Tian L. Overview of Risk Factors for Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma in China. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:5604. [PMID: 38067307 PMCID: PMC10705141 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15235604] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2023] [Revised: 11/22/2023] [Accepted: 11/24/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2024] Open
Abstract
(1) Background: China has the highest esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) incidence areas in the world, with some areas of incidence over 100 per 100,000. Despite extensive public health efforts, its etiology is still poorly understood. This study aims to review and summarize past research into potential etiologic factors for ESCC in China. (2) Methods: Relevant observational and intervention studies were systematically extracted from four databases using key terms, reviewed using Rayyan software, and summarized into Excel tables. (3) Results: Among the 207 studies included in this review, 129 studies were focused on genetic etiologic factors, followed by 22 studies focused on dietary-related factors, 19 studies focused on HPV-related factors, and 37 studies focused on other factors. (4) Conclusions: ESCC in China involves a variety of factors including genetic variations, gene-environment interactions, dietary factors like alcohol, tobacco use, pickled vegetables, and salted meat, dietary behavior such as hot food/drink consumption, infections like HPV, poor oral health, gastric atrophy, and socioeconomic factors. Public health measures should prioritize genetic screening for relevant polymorphisms, conduct comprehensive investigations into environmental, dietary, and HPV influences, enhance oral health education, and consider socioeconomic factors overall as integral strategies to reduce ESCC in high-risk areas of China.

Effects of gene polymorphisms on the risk of severe hyponatremia during DCF chemotherapy for patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Oncol Lett 2018; 16:5455-5462. [PMID: 30214618 DOI: 10.3892/ol.2018.9236] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2018] [Accepted: 07/25/2018] [Indexed: 01/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Combination chemotherapy using docetaxel, cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil (DCF) is a promising treatment option for patients with advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), although its clinical application is limited by severe systemic toxicities. There are no validated markers for predicting the adverse effects caused by this regimen. This pharmacogenetic study enrolled 57 patients with chemotherapy-naive advanced ESCC between July 2012 and March 2016 (UMIN000008462). All patients received at least one course of DCF chemotherapy (docetaxel, 60 mg/m2 on day 1; cisplatin, 70 mg/m2 on day 1; 5-fluorouracil, 600 mg/m2 on days 1-5). The associations between four gene polymorphisms (ERCC1 rs11615, GSTP1 rs1695, TYMS rs151264360 and XPD rs13181) and the development of grade 3/4 adverse events during the first course of chemotherapy were prospectively investigated. The patients had a median age of 66 years (range, 45-77 years) and the majority were male (51 males vs. 6 females). The treatment settings were neoadjuvant (47 patients), adjuvant (1 patient) and salvage (9 patients), with dose intensities of 100% (51 patients) or 80% (6 patients). The severe adverse events were leukopenia (70.2%), neutropenia (86.0%), febrile neutropenia (36.8%), acute kidney injury (29.1%) and hyponatremia (43.9%). Two polymorphisms were independently associated with the development of severe hyponatremia among patients carrying the minor allele (vs. patients with major homozygote genotype): TYMS 3'-UTR rs151264360 (odds ratio, 3.64; 95% confidence interval, 1.11-11.9) and XPD Lys751Gln rs13181 (odds ratio, 10.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.10-93.3). Therefore, the presence of the TYMS and XPD polymorphisms may aid in identifying patients with a high risk of developing severe hyponatremia during DCF chemotherapy.

Abstract
AIM The study investigated role of xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group D (XPD) single nucleotide polymorphisms in modulating lung cancer risk and its association with overall survival and clinical outcomes. METHODS XPD polymorphisms were detected using polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). RESULTS CC genotype of A751C polymorphism was associated with an increased lung cancer risk (p = 0.01). Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis depicted C156A as the major contributing factor. Patients having CC, treated with irinotecan-cisplatin/carboplatin regimen showed a better survival (median survival time = 25.2) whereas a poor survival was for XPD G312A. Similarly, patients treated with pemetrexed and carrying heterozygous genotype of G312A polymorphism had a poor survival (p = 0.01). CONCLUSION A751C and G312A act as a predictive marker in lung cancer patients treated with platinum chemotherapy. These findings might facilitate therapeutic decisions for individualized therapy in lung cancer patient. [Formula: see text].

ERCC2/XPD Lys751Gln alter DNA repair efficiency of platinum-induced DNA damage through P53 pathway. Chem Biol Interact 2016; 263:55-65. [PMID: 28027876 DOI: 10.1016/j.cbi.2016.12.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/30/2016] [Revised: 11/08/2016] [Accepted: 12/22/2016] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
Platinum-based treatment causes Pt-DNA adducts which lead to cell death. The platinum-induced DNA damage is recognized and repaired by the nucleotide excision repair (NER) system of which ERCC2/XPD is a critical enzyme. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in ERCC2/XPD have been found to be associated with platinum resistance. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether ERCC2/XPD Lys751Gln (rs13181) polymorphism is causally related to DNA repair capacity of platinum-induced DNA damage. First, cDNA clones expressing different genotypes of the polymorphism was transfected to an ERCC2/XPD defective CHO cell line (UV5). Second, all cells were treated with cisplatin. Cellular survival rate were investigated by MTT growth inhibition assay, DNA damage levels were investigated by comet assay and RAD51 staining. The distribution of cell cycle and the change of apoptosis rates were detected by a flow cytometric method (FCM). Finally, P53mRNA and phospho-P53 protein levels were further investigated in order to explore a possible explanation. As expected, there was a significantly increased in viability of UV5ERCC2 (AA) as compared to UV5ERCC2 (CC) after cisplatin treatment. The DNA damage level of UV5ERCC2 (AA) was significant decreased compared to UV5ERCC2 (CC) at 24 h of treatment. Mutation of ERCC2rs13181 AA to CC causes a prolonged S phase in cell cycle. UV5ERCC2 (AA) alleviated the apoptosis compared to UV5ERCC2 (CC), meanwhile P53mRNA levels in UVERCC2 (AA) was also lower when compared UV5ERCC2 (CC). It co-incides with a prolonged high expression of phospho-P53, which is relevant for cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and the DNA damage response (DDR). We concluded that ERCC2/XPD rs13181 polymorphism is possibly related to the DNA repair capacity of platinum-induced DNA damage. This functional study provides some clues to clarify the relationship between cisplatin resistance and ERCC2/XPDrs13181 polymorphism.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Published data regarding the association between xeroderma pigmentosum group D XPD Lys751Gln polymorphisms and esophageal cancer (EC) cancer remain controversial. The present meta-analysis aimed to obtain a more precise estimation of the relationship between XPD Lys751Gln polymorphisms and the risk of EC. METHODS All eligible case-control studies of Lys751Gln polymorphisms and susceptibility to EC were selected from PubMed, Web of Science and CNKI up to October 2013. The data were extracted, and pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. RESULTS A total of 21 case-control studies from 19 reports were assessed in this meta-analysis, including 6,581 cases and 8,251 controls. There was a significant association between the XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism and the risk of esophageal cancer in the overall population (Dominant model: OR=1.30, 95%CI: 1.07-1.57, p<0.05; Lys/Gln vs. Gln/Gln: OR=1.20, 95%CI: 1.05-137, p<0.05; Gln/Gln vs. Lys/Lys: OR=1.76, 95%CI: 1.08-2.85, p=0.02; Recessive model: OR=1.48, 95%CI: 1.06-2.07, p=0.02). Similar results were found when stratified according to the cancer type, ethnicity and control source. However, no associations were found among smokers or drinkers. CONCLUSION The results of this meta-analysis suggest that XPD Lys751Gln polymorphisms contribute to susceptibility to EC.

Abstract
AIM: To clarify the effects of the xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln gene polymorphisms on the risk of esophageal cancer (EC).
METHODS: A computerised literature search was conducted to identify the relevant studies from the PUBMED and EMBASE databases, reviews, and reference lists of relevant articles. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the associations between the XPD Asp312Asn and/or Lys751Gln polymorphisms and EC susceptibility. Statistical analyses were performed using the software Stata 12.0. A fixed or random effects model was selected based on a heterogeneity test. Publication bias was estimated using funnel plots and Egger’s linear regression method. Subgroup analyses were performed based on histological type and ethnicity.
RESULTS: Thirteen case-control studies with a total of 10 comparisons for the Asp312Asn polymorphism, including 2373 cases and 3175 controls, and 15 comparisons for the Lys751Gln polymorphism, including 3226 cases and 5237 controls, were recruited for the meta-analysis. In terms of the XPD Asp312Asn polymorphism, significantly increased EC risks were identified in the Asp/Asn vs Asp/Asp comparison (OR = 1.17, 95%CI: 1.02-1.33, P = 0.03) and in the dominant-model comparison (Asn/Asn+Asp/Asn vs Asp/Asp: OR = 1.18, 95%CI: 1.04-1.34, P = 0.01). However, no significant associations were found in the Asn/Asn vs Asp/Asp comparison (OR = 1.30, 95%CI: 1.00-1.70, P = 0.05) or in the recessive-model comparison (Asn/Asn vs Asp/Asn + Asp/Asp: OR = 1.17, 95%CI: 0.91-1.50, P = 0.22). In terms of the XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism, a significant association with EC susceptibility was found under the recessive model (Gln/Gln vs Lys/Gln+Lys/Lys: OR = 1.21, 95%CI: 1.02-1.43, P = 0.03). However, no associations were identified in the other comparisons (co-dominant model: Lys/Gln vs Lys/Lys: OR = 1.11, 95%CI: 0.94-1.31, P = 0.20; Gln/Gln vs Lys/Lys: OR = 1.31, 95%CI: 0.98-1.75, P = 0.07; dominant model: OR = 1.14, 95%CI: 0.96-1.35, P = 0.14).
CONCLUSION: The results of this meta-analysis suggest that the XPD Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln gene polymorphisms are associated with a significantly increased risk for EC.

Abstract
Published data regarding the association between the excision repair cross-complimentary group 2 (ERCC2) Asp312Asn polymorphisms and esophageal cancer susceptibility remained controversial. This meta-analysis of literatures was performed to assess the strength of association between the ERCC2 and esophageal cancer susceptibility using random effects model. We systematically searched PubMed, Embase and Web of Science with a time limit of September 15, 2013. Summary odds ratios (ORs) with 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of association between the ERCC2 Asp312Asn polymorphism and esophageal cancer susceptibility using random effects model. A total of seven case-control studies including 1,831 cases and 2,728 controls were included for analysis. Overall, a significant association was found between ERCC2 Asp312Asn polymorphism and esophageal cancer susceptibility for GA vs. GG (OR = 1.20, 95 % CI = 1.03-1.40) and for the dominant model GA/AA vs. GG (OR = 1.18, 95 % CI = 1.03-1.35). However, the ERCC2 Asp312Asn polymorphism was a protective factor for AA vs. GA/GG (OR = 0.63, 95 % CI = 1.15-2.65) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Our meta-analysis suggested that the ERCC2 Asp312Asn polymorphism might be associated with increased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma and a protective factor for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Background The Xeroderma pigmento-sum group D gene (XPD) plays a key role in nucleotide excision repair. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) located in its functional region may alter DNA repair capacity phenotype and cancer risk. Many studies have demonstrated that XPD polymorphisms are significantly associated with digestive tract cancers risk, but the results are inconsistent. We conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis to assess the association between XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism and digestive tract cancers risk. The digestive tract cancers that our study referred to, includes oral cancer, esophageal cancer, gastric cancer and colorectal cancer. Methods We searched PubMed and EmBase up to December 31, 2012 to identify eligible studies. A total of 37 case-control studies including 9027 cases and 16072 controls were involved in this meta-analysis. Statistical analyses were performed with Stata software (version 11.0, USA). Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of the association. Results The results showed that XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism was associated with the increased risk of digestive tract cancers (homozygote comparison (GlnGln vs. LysLys): OR = 1.12, 95% CI = 1.01–1.24, P = 0.029, Pheterogeneity = 0.133). We found no statistical evidence for a significantly increased digestive tract cancers risk in the other genetic models. In the subgroup analysis, we also found the homozygote comparison increased the susceptibility of Asian population (OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.01–1.63, P = 0.045, Pheterogeneity = 0.287). Stratified by cancer type and source of control, no significantly increased cancer risk was found in these subgroups. Additionally, risk estimates from hospital-based studies and esophageal studies were heterogeneous. Conclusions Our meta-analysis suggested that the XPD 751Gln/Gln genotype was a low-penetrate risk factor for developing digestive tract cancers, especially in Asian populations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) Asp312Asn polymorphism and esophageal cancer (EC) susceptibility by meta-analysis. METHODS We searched PubMed up to April 9th, 2012, to identify relevant papers, and 8 published case-control studies including 2165 EC patients and 3141 healthy controls were yielded. Odds ratios (ORs) with relevant 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were applied to assess the association between XPD Asp312Asn polymorphism and EC susceptibility with the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software, version 2.2. RESULTS Overall, the meta-analysis results suggested the XPD Asp312Asn polymorphism to be significantly associated with EC susceptibility [(Asn/Asn+Asp/Asn) vs. Asp/Asp: OR=1.20, 95%CI=1.05-1.36, p=0.01; and Asp/Asn vs. Asp/Asp: OR=1.15, 95%CI=1.01-1.31, p=0.04]. In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity and cancer type, significantly associations were found for Caucasian populations [(Asn/Asn+Asp/Asn) vs. Asp/Asp: OR=1.26, 95%CI=1.08-1.47, p<0.001; Asp/Asn vs. Asp/Asp: OR=1.19, 95%CI=1.02- 1.40, p=0.03] and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma [(Asn/Asn+Asp/Asn) vs. Asp/Asp: OR=1.19, 95%CI=1.01-1.41, p=0.04]. There was no heterogeneity and no publication bias existed. CONCLUSIONS This meta-analysis shows that the XPD Asp312Asn polymorphism may be a risk factor for developing EC, especially for Caucasian populations and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Abstract
Background Benzo[a]pyrene(B[a]P), and its ultimate metabolite Benzo[a]pyrene 7,8-diol 9,10-epoxide (BPDE), are classic DNA damaging carcinogens. DNA damage caused by BPDE is normally repaired by Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER), of which ERCC1 and ERCC2/XPD exert an indispensable role. Genetic variations in ERCC1 and ERCC2 have been related to DNA repair efficiency. In this study we used lymphocytes from healthy individuals to show that polymorphisms in ERCC1 and ERCC2 are directly associated with decreased DNA repair efficiency. Methods ERCC1 (rs3212986 and rs11615) and ERCC2 (rs13181, rs1799793 and rs238406) were genotyped in 818 healthy Han individuals from the northeast of China. BPDE induced DNA adducts in lymphocytes were assessed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in 282 randomly selected participants. The effect of ERCC1 rs3212986 and ERCC2 rs238406 on DNA damage caused by B[a]P was assessed with a modified comet assay. Results We found that the variant genotypes of ERCC1 rs3212986 and ERCC2 rs238406 were associated with the high levels of BPDE-DNA adducts. Especially ERCC1 rs3212986 A-allele variant was significantly associated with the high BPDE-DNA adducts. Haplotype analysis showed that the ERCC1 haplotype AC (OR = 2.36, 95% CI = 1.84–2.97), ERCC2 haplotype AGA (OR = 1.51, 95% CI = 1.06–2.15) and haplotype block AGAAC (OR = 5.28, 95% CI = 2.95–9.43), AGCAC (OR = 1.35 95% CI = 1.13–1.60) were linked with high BPDE-DNA adducts. In addition, we found that the combined minor alleles of ERCC1 rs3212986 and ERCC2 rs238406 were associated with a reduced DNA repair capacity. Conclusions Our results suggest that the variant genotypes of ERCC1 rs3212986 and ERCC2 rs238406 are associated with decreased repair efficiency of BPDE induced DNA damage, and may be predictive for an individual’s DNA repair capacity in response to environmental carcinogens.

XPD could suppress growth of HepG2.2.15 and down-regulate the expression of hepatitis B virus x protein through P53 pathway. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2012; 419:761-7. [PMID: 22387547 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrc.2012.02.097] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2012] [Accepted: 02/16/2012] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES We investigated the effects of xeroderma pigmentosum D (XPD) on the growth of hepatoma cells and the expressions of P21, Bax, Bcl-2 and Hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx). In addition, we examined whether XPD affected the aforementioned genes via the P53 pathway. METHODS Human hepatoma cells (HepG2.2.15) were transfected with XPD expression vector, followed by incubation with Pifithrin-α (P53 inhibitor). By using RT-PCR and Western blotting, the expression levels of XPD, P53, phospho-P53 (ser-15), P21, Bax, Bcl-2 and HBx were detected. The cell cycle and the apoptosis rate were examined with flow cytometry, and the cell viability was detected by MTT. RESULTS Over-expression of XPD up-regulated the expressions of P53, phospho-P53 (ser-15), P21 and Bax but down-regulated the expressions of Bcl-2 and HBx. XPD inhibited the viability of HepG2.2.15 and exacerbated the apoptosis. However, the inhibition of P53 by Pifithrin-α abolished the above-mentioned effects of XPD. CONCLUSION XPD could suppress growth of hepatoma cells, up-regulate the expressions of P21 and Bax, and down-regulate the expressions of Bcl-2 and HBx through the P53 pathway. There may be mutual influences among XPD, P53 and HBx that co-regulate hepatocarcinogenesis.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of common polymorphisms in the nucleotide excision repair pathway genes in the tumorigenesis of osteosarcoma and in the response to DNA damaging therapies, such as cisplatin-based neoadjuvant therapy. Excision repair cross-complementing (ERCC) group 2 (XPD; rs13181 and rs1799793), group 5 (XPG; rs17655) and group 1 (XPA; rs3212986 and rs11615) polymorphisms were analyzed in a group of 130 homogenously treated patients with high-grade osteosarcoma, for association with event-free survival (EFS), using the Kaplan-Meier plots and log-rank test. A positive association was observed between both XPD single-nucleotide polymorphisms and an increased EFS (hazards ratio (HR) = 0.34, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.12-0.98 and HR = 0.19, 95% CI 0.05-0.77, respectively). We had also performed a case-control study for relative risk to develop osteosarcoma. Patients carrying at least one variant allele of XPD rs1799793 had a reduced risk of developing osteosarcoma, compared with wild-type patients (odds ratio = 0.55, 95% CI 0.36-0.84). This study suggests that XPD rs1799793 could be a marker of osteosarcoma associated with features conferring either a better prognosis or a better outcome after platinum therapy, or both.

XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism and esophageal cancer susceptibility: a meta-analysis of case-control studies. Mol Biol Rep 2011; 39:2533-40. [PMID: 21667112 DOI: 10.1007/s11033-011-1005-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/06/2010] [Accepted: 06/01/2011] [Indexed: 12/31/2022]
Abstract
The published data on the association between xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) Lys751Gln polymorphism and esophageal cancer (EC) remained controversial. The present meta-analysis of literatures was performed to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship. A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify all case-control studies of Lys751Gln polymorphism and risk for two main types of EC: esophageal adenocarcinoma (EADC) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). A total of 12 studies were identified to the meta-analysis, including 2,575 cases (1,294 ESCC and 1,281 EADC) and 4,951 controls (1,891 ESCC and 3,060 EADC). Random-effects or fix-effects model was used according to between-study heterogeneity. The odds ratio (OR) for the variant homozygous genotype Gln/Gln of the Lys751Gln polymorphism, compared with the wild type homozygote Lys/Lys, was 1.26, with 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.02-1.56, for EADC risk without between-study heterogeneity. When stratified by ethnicity, statistically significantly elevated risk was found among Chinese (Gln/Gln vs. Lys/Lys: OR 2.45, 95% CI = 1.10-5.44). However, no significant associations were found between XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism and EC risk when all studies pooled into the meta-analysis (Lys/Gln vs. Lys/Lys: OR 1.07, 95% CI = 0.88-1.28; Gln/Gln vs.us Lys/Lys: OR 1.25, 95% CI = 0.92-1.71; dominant model: OR 1.09, 95% CI = 0.90-1.33). In conclusion, this meta-analysis suggests that the Lys751Gln genetic polymorphism may be a potential biomarker of EC susceptibility in Chinese populations. And a study with the larger sample size is needed to further evaluate gene-environment interaction on XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism and EC risk.

Abstract
AIM: To evaluate the association between xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD), genetic polymorphism Lys751Gln and esophageal cancer risk.
METHODS: We searched PubMed up to September 1, 2010 to identify eligible studies. A total of 10 case-control studies including 2288 cases and 4096 controls were included in the meta-analysis. Statistical analysis was performed with Review Manage version 4.2. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to assess the strength of the association.
RESULTS: The results suggested that there is no significant association between XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism and esophageal cancer susceptibility in the overall population. However, in subgroup analysis by histology type, a significant association was found between XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism and esophageal adenocarcinoma (for CC vs AA: OR = 1.25, 95% CI = 1.01-1.55, P = 0.05 for heterogeneity).
CONCLUSION: Our meta-analysis suggested that XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism may be associated with increased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND When the case-only study design is used to estimate statistical interaction between genetic (G) and environmental (E) exposures, G and E must be independent in the underlying population, or the case-only estimate of interaction (COR) will be biased. Few studies have examined the occurrence of G-E association in published control group data. METHODS To examine the assumption of G-E independence in empirical data, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of G-E associations in controls for frequently investigated DNA repair genes (XRCC1 Arg399Gln, Arg194Trp, or Arg280His, XPD Lys751Gln, and Asp312Asn, and XRCC3 Thr241Met), and smoking (ever/never smoking, current/not current smoker, smoking duration, smoking intensity, and pack-years). RESULTS Across the 55 included studies, single nucleotide polymorphisms SNP-smoking associations in controls (OR(z)) were not reliably at the null value of 1.0 for any SNP-smoking combinations. Two G-E combinations were too heterogeneous for summary estimates: XRCC1 399 and ever-never smoking (N = 21), and XPD 751 and pack-years (N = 12). OR(z) ranges for these combinations were: [OR(z) (95% confidence interval (CI)] 0.7 (0.4, 1.2)-1.9 (1.2, 2.8) and 0.8 (0.5, 1.3)-2.3 (0.8, 6.1), respectively). Estimates for studies considered homogeneous (Cochran's Q P-value <0.10) varied 2- to 5-fold. No study characteristics were identified that could explain heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS We recommend the independence assumption be evaluated in the population underlying any potential case-only study, rather than in a proxy control group(s) or pooled controls. IMPACT These results suggest that G-E association in controls may be population-specific. Increased access to control data would improve evaluation of the independence assumption.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the role of metabolic enzyme and DNA repair genes in susceptibility of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
METHODS: A case-control study was designed with 454 samples from 128 ESCC patients and 326 gender, age and ethnicity-matched control subjects. Genotypes of 69 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of metabolic enzyme (aldehyde dehydrogenase-2, ALDH2; alcohol dehydrogenase-1 B, ADHB1; Cytochrome P450 2A6, CYP2A6) and DNA repair capacity genes (excision repair cross complementing group 1, ERCC1; O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase, MGMT; xeroderma pigmentosum group A, XPA; xeroderma pigmentosum group A, XPD) were determined by the Sequenom MassARRAY system, and results were analyzed using unconditional logistic regression adjusted for age, gender.
RESULTS: There was no association between the variation in the ERCC1, XPA, ADHB1 genes and ESCC risk. Increased risk of ESCC was suggested in ALDH2 for frequency of presence C allele of SNP [Rs886205: 1.626 (1.158-2.284)], XPD for C allele [Rs50872: 1.482 (1.058-2.074)], and MGMT for A allele [Rs11016897: 1.666 (1.245-2.228)]. Five variants of MGMT were associated with a protective effect on ESCC carcinogenesis, including C allele [Rs7069143: 0.698 (0.518-0.939)], C allele [Rs3793909: 0.653 (0.429-0.995)], A allele [Rs12771882: 0.719 (0.524-0.986)], C allele [Rs551491: 0.707 (0.529-0.945)], and A allele [Rs7071825: 0.618 (0.506-0.910)]. At the genotype level, increased risk of ESCC carcinogenesis was found in homozygous carriers of the ALDH2 Rs886205 [CC vs TT, odds ratios (OR): 3.116, 95% CI: 1.179-8.234], MGMT Rs11016879 (AA vs GG, OR: 3.112, 95% CI: 1.565-6.181), Rs12771882 (AA vs GG, OR: 2.442, 95% CI: 1.204-4.595), and heterozygotes carriers of the ALDH2 Rs886205 (CT vs TT, OR: 3.930, 95% CI: 1.470-10.504), MGMT Rs11016879 (AG vs GG, OR: 3.933, 95% CI: 2.216-6.982) and Rs7075748 (CT vs CC, OR: 1.949, 95% CI: 1.134-3.350), respectively. Three variants were associated with a protective effect on ESCC carcinogenesis, carriers of the MGMT Rs11016878 (AG vs AA, OR: 0.388, 95% CI: 0.180-0.836), Rs7069143(CT vs CC, OR: 0.478, 95% CI: 0.303-0.754) and Rs7071825 (GG vs AA, OR: 0.493, 95% CI: 0.266-0.915). Increased risk of ESCC metastasis was indicated in MGMT for frequency of presence C allele [Rs7068306: 2.204 (1.244-3.906)], A allele [Rs10734088: 1.968 (1.111-3.484)] and C allele [Rs4751115: 2.178 (1.251-3.791)]. Two variants in frequency of presence C allele of CYP2A6 [Rs8192720: 0.290 (0.099-0.855)] and A allele of MGMT [Rs2053139: 0.511 (0.289-0.903)] were associated with a protective effect on ESCC progression. Increased risk of ESCC metastasis was found in heterozygote carriers of the MGMT Rs7068306 (CG vs CC, OR: 4.706, 95% CI: 1.872-11.833).
CONCLUSION: Polymorphic variation in ALDH2, XPD and MGMT genes may be of importance for ESCC susceptibility. Polymorphic variation in CYP2A6 and MGMT are associated with ESCC metastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic polymorphisms in DNA repair genes may influence individual variation in DNA repair capacity, which may be associated with risk of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) related to the exposure of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). In this study, we have focused on the polymorphisms of xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group D (XPD) codon 312 and 751 (namely Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln), involved in nucleotide excision repair. METHODS We conducted a case-control study including 618 HCC cases and 712 controls to evaluate the associations between these two polymorphisms and HCC risk for Guangxi population by means of TaqMan-PCR and PCR-RFLP analysis. RESULTS We found that individuals featuring the XPD genotypes with codon 751 Gln alleles (namely XPD-LG or XPD-GG) were related to an elevated risk of HCC compared to those with the homozygote of XPD codon 751 Lys alleles [namely XPD-LL, adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were 1.75 and 2.47; 95% confidence interval (CIs) were 1.30-2.37 and 1.62-3.76, respectively]. A gender-specific role was evident that showed an higher risk for women (adjusted OR was 8.58 for XPD-GG) than for men (adjusted OR = 2.90 for XPD-GG). Interestingly, the interactive effects of this polymorphism and AFB1-exposure information showed the codon 751 Gln alleles increase the risk of HCC for individuals facing longer exposure years (Pinteraction = 0.011, OR = 0.85). For example, long-exposure-years (> 48 years) individuals who carried XDP-GG had an adjusted OR of 470.25, whereas long-exposure-years people with XDP-LL were at lower risk (adjusted OR = 149.12). However, we did not find that XPD codon 312 polymorphism was significantly associated with HCC risk. CONCLUSION These findings suggest that XPD Lys751Gln polymorphism is an important modulator of AFB1 related-HCC development in Guangxi population.

Abstract
Polymorphisms have been identified in several DNA repair genes. These polymorphisms may effect DNA repair capacity and modulate cancer susceptibility. In this study, we aimed to determine the four polymorphisms in two DNA repair genes, xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group D (XPD) and X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1), in a sample of Turkish patients with childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and evaluate their association with childhood ALL development. We used polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP), to analyze XPD Asp312Asn, XPD Lys751Gln, XRCC1 Arg194Trp, and XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphisms in 70 patients with childhood ALL and in 75 disease-free controls, who were of a similar age. No significant differences were observed among the study groups with regard to the XPD codon 312, XPD codon 751, XRCC1 codon 194, and XRCC1 codon 399 polymorphisms. However, the combined XRCC1 Arg194Trp/Trp194Trp variant genotypes were associated with increased risk for ALL in females (OR=5.47; 95% CI=1.49-20.10; p=0.008). This finding indicates that females carrying XRCC1 194Trp allele are at increased risk of developing childhood ALL. These results suggest that the risk of childhood ALL may be associated with DNA repair mechanisms, and understanding these mechanisms will help identify individuals at increased risk of developing childhood ALL, and also should be lead to improved treatment of ALL.

Abstract
Polymorphisms of the methyl-CpG binding domain 1 (MBD1) gene may influence MBD1 activity on gene expression profiles, thereby modulating individual susceptibility to lung cancer. To test this hypothesis, we investigated the associations of four MBD1 polymorphisms and lung cancer risk in a Chinese population. Single locus analysis revealed significant associations between two polymorphisms (rs125555 and rs140689) and lung cancer risk (p=0.011 and p=0.005, respectively). Since the two polymorphisms were in linkage disequilibrium, further haplotype analyses were performed and revealed a significant association with lung cancer (global test p-value=0.0041). Our results suggested that MBD1 polymorphisms might be involved in the development of lung cancer. Validation of these findings in larger studies of other populations is needed.

Abstract
AIMS Nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC) is a multi-factorial disease, and the genetic background may be a crucial etiologic factor. The xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group C (XPC) is mainly involved in DNA damage repair, and the sequence variants in XPC gene may modulate DNA repair capacity and consequently lead to an individual's susceptibility to NPC. The aims of this study were to examine the association between XPC Val499Ala, Lys939Gln, PAT polymorphisms and the genetic susceptibility of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) in Chinese population. METHODS We analyzed the three XPC gene polymorphisms in 153 patients with NPC and 168 age- and sex-matched controls in a Chinese population, using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) procedure. RESULTS There were significant differences in the genotype and allele distribution of XPC Val499Ala among cases and controls. The 499Val allele carriers were associated with a significantly increased risk of NPC compared with the non-carriers (OR=1.603; 95%CI,1.160 approximately 2.216, p=0.005). Consistent with the results of the genotype analysis, the 499Val/939Lys/PAT haplotype was associated with a significantly increased risk of NPC as compared with the 499Ala/939Lys/PAT haplotype (OR=1.901;95% CI, 1.284 approximately 2.814, p=0.002). The interaction between the Val499Ala polymorphism and gender or smoking status did not been found in NPC risk. CONCLUSIONS Our data demonstrated that XPC 499Val allele and its haplotype were strongly associated with NPC, which indicated that Val499Ala polymorphism may be a contributing factor in the NPC development.

Abstract
Genetic variations in the XPD gene may increase cancer susceptibility by affecting the capacity for DNA repair. Several studies have investigated this possibility; however, the conclusions remain controversial. Therefore, we did a systematic review and executed a meta-analysis to explore the association. From 56 studies, a total of 61 comparisons included 25,932 cases and 27,733 controls concerning the Lys 751Gln polymorphism; 35 comparisons included 16,781 cases and 18,879 controls in the case of Asp 312 Asn were reviewed. In this analysis, small associations of the XPD Lys 751 Gln polymorphism with cancer risk for esophageal cancer [for Lys/Gln versus Lys/Lys: odds ratio (OR), 1.34; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.10-1.64; for Gln/Gln versus Lys/Lys: OR, 1.61; 95% CI, 1.16-2.25] and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (for Gln/Gln versus Lys/Lys: OR, 1.83; 95% CI, 1.21-2.75) are revealed. Overall, individuals with the Gln/Gln genotype have a small cancer risk compared with Lys/Lys genotype for the reviewed cancer in total (OR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.03-1.16). Subtle but significant cancer risk was observed for the XPD Asp 312 Asn polymorphism in bladder cancer (for Asp/Asn versus Asp/Asp: OR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.06-1.46). No significant associations were found for other cancers separately and all the reviewed cancer in total assessed for the Asp 312 Asn polymorphism. Our study suggests that XPD is a candidate gene for cancer susceptibility regardless of environmental factors.

Abstract
The aim of this paper is to review and evaluate, in a comprehensive manner, the published data regarding the contribution of genetic polymorphisms to risk of esophageal cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and adenocarcinoma, in humans. All relevant studies available in MEDLINE and published before February 2007 were identified. Studies carried out in humans and that compared esophageal cancer patients with at least 1 standard control group were considered for analysis. One-hundred studies and 3 meta-analyses were identified. Eighty (80%) studies were conducted in Asian countries, particularly China including Taiwan (60 (60%) studies). The most intensively examined genes were those encoding carcinogen metabolic enzymes. The most widely studied gene was GSTM1 (15 studies), followed by ALDH2 (11 studies). ALDH2, MTHFR C677T, CYP1A1 Ile/Val, CYP1A1MspI, CYP2E1, GSTP1, GSTM1 and GSTT1 were examined by meta-analyses and significant relations were found between ALDH2*1*2 and the CYP1A1 Val allele and increased risk of esophageal cancer. In addition, increased risk of esophageal SCC was consistently associated with the ADH2*1*2 and the p53 codon 72 Pro/Pro genotypes. Cohort studies that simultaneously consider multiple genetic and environmental factors possibly involved in esophageal carcinogenesis are needed to ascertain not only the relative contribution of these factors to tumor development but also the contributions of their putative interactions.

Abstract
PURPOSE The role of genetic susceptibility to esophageal adenocarcinoma and its precursor lesion Barrett esophagus has not been fully elucidated. This study investigated the effect of polymorphisms in the manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) genes in modulating the risk of developing Barrett esophagus or esophageal adenocarcinoma. METHODS A total of 584 patients (146 esophagitis, 200 Barrett esophagus, 144 esophageal adenocarcinoma, and 94 controls) were genotyped for the MnSOD C14T and NQO1 C609T polymorphisms using polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. RESULTS The NQO1 TT genotype was less common in Barrett esophagus (2.0%) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (1.4%) patients, compared with both esophagitis patients (7.6%) and controls (5.4%). After adjustment for sex, age, body mass index, reflux symptoms, and smoking status, patients with the homozygous TT genotype had a 4.5-fold decreased risk of developing Barrett esophagus (odds ratio = 0.22, 95% confidence interval = 0.07-0.76, P = 0.01) and a 6.2-fold decreased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma (odds ratio = 0.16, 95% confidence intervals = 0.03-0.94, P = 0.04) compared with individuals with the TC and CC genotypes. No significant differences between groups were observed for the MnSOD polymorphism (P = 0.289). CONCLUSIONS Overall, the results of this study suggest that the NQO1 TT genotype may offer protection from reflux complications such as Barrett esophagus and esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
XRCC1 (X-ray cross-complementing group 1) codon 399 and ERCC2 (excision repair cross-complementing group 2) codon 751 polymorphisms were studied in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESQCC) in a North Indian population. Peripheral blood samples of 120 cases and 160 age-and-gender matching controls were collected from North India and the two polymorphisms were studied by means of polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism techniques. The data were analyzed with a logistic regression model. The XRCC1 codon 399 Gln/Gln genotype was significantly associated with reduced risk of ESQCC (OR = 0.31, 95% CI = 0.12-0.78, P = 0.01). In smokers, the XRCC1 Arg/Gln genotype was marginally and statistically nonsignificantly (OR = 1.5) associated with increased risk of this cancer. In drinkers, the XRCC1 Gln/Gln genotype was significantly protective (OR = 0.06, 95% CI = 0.007-0.605, P = 0.03), whereas ERCC2 (Lys/Gln-Gln/Gln) was marginally associated with increased risk (OR = 2.1, 95% CI = 0.46-9.44). Upon analysis of gene-gene interaction, a relationship was observed, although statistically nonsignificant, between combined genotypes of XRCC1 (Arg/Gln-Gln/Gln)-ERCC2 Gln/Gln (OR = 0.33, 95% CI = 0.09-1.16) and XRCC1 (Gln/Gln)-ERCC2 (Lys/Gln) (OR = 0.36, 95% CI = 0.11-1.17) and reduced risk of ESQCC in the North Indian population. These observations suggest that the Gln/Gln genotype of XRCC1 might play an important role in DNA repair in ESQCC.

Abstract
CONTEXT X-ray repair cross-complementing groups 1 and 3 (XRCC1 and XRCC3) and xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) are mainly involved in base excision repair, homologous recombination repair, and nucleotide excision repair of DNA repair pathways, respectively. Previous studies have demonstrated that their gene polymorphisms were associated with some cancer susceptibility. OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN To investigate the effect of XPD Lys751Gln, XRCC1 Arg399Gln, Arg194Trp, Arg280His, and XRCC3 Thr241Met polymorphisms on the risk of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), a population-based case-control study of 153 NPC patients and 168 healthy controls among Sichuan population was conducted. RESULTS Our results showed that XRCC1 codon 194 Trp allele was associated with an increased risk of NPC (odds ratio [OR] = 1.828, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.286-2.598), and XPD codon 751Gln allele was associated with a borderline decrease of NPC (OR = 0.600, 95% CI: 0.361-1.000); combination analysis showed that individuals with both putative genotypes of XPD codon 751 Lys/Lys and XRCC1 codon 194 Arg/Trp or Trp/Trp have a significantly elevated risk of NPC (OR = 2.708, 95% CI: 1.338-5.478). CONCLUSION The results indicated that XRCC1 codon 194 Trp allele and XPD codon 751 Lys allele may be contributing factors in the risk of NPC.

Abstract
The effect of the polymorphism of the DNA repair gene ERCC2/XPD Asp312Asn on the risk of lung cancer was investigated in a northeastern Chinese population. A hospital-based case-control study consisted of 201 lung cancer cases and 171 cancer-free controls matched to age, sex, and ethnicity. A polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method was used for genotyping. Frequency of the variant C-allele of ERCC2 Asp312Asn was 0.006 among the controls in present study, which differs markedly from previous reports both in European ancestry populations and in other Chinese populations (all P < 0.001). The polymorphism was not associated with risk of lung cancer. Haplotype analysis including three previously studied polymorphisms (ERCC1 Asn118Asn, ERCC2 Arg156Arg, and ERCC2 Lys751Gln) revealed that a haplotype consisting of ERCC1Asn118Asn(G)-ERCC2 Arg156Arg(C)-ERCC2 Asp312Asn(G)-ERCC2 Lys751Gln(C) was marginally associated with an increased risk of lung cancer (OR = 3.61, 95% CI = 1.00-13.06, P = 0.04). Our data suggest that the polymorphism ERCC2 Lys751Gln or a haplotype encompassing the variant allele is associated with risk of lung cancer in this population. Studies including larger sample sizes are needed to elucidate the effects of these polymorphisms on lung cancer risk in this northeastern Chinese population.

Abstract
Polymorphisms in genes responsible for maintaining genomic integrity are potential modifiers of disease risk. Since considerable interindividual and interethnic variation in DNA repair capacity has been associated with polymorphic alleles, we evaluated the frequency of the 2R/3R variants in the TS promoter, Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln in the XRCC1 gene, and Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln in the XPD gene in 364 healthy individuals from a Brazilian population separated by ethnicity (European ancestry and African ancestry). The genotypes were determined by PCR (TS) or by PCR-RFLP (XRCC1 and XPD). The frequency of the TS 3R allele was 0.56 for whites and 0.51 for nonwhites. In the case of the XRCC1 MspI polymorphism, the allele frequencies were 0.09 for 194Trp in both nonwhites and whites and 0.27 and 0.28 for 399Gln in nonwhites and whites, respectively. For the XPD 312Asn allele, we found a frequency of 0.25 in white individuals, which was significantly different (P = 0.025) from that seen in nonwhites (0.15). Similarly, the 751Gln polymorphic allele of the XPD gene was significantly more frequent (P < 0.002) in whites (0.30) than in nonwhites (0.20). The genotype frequencies were within Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. We concluded that the genotype and allele frequencies of XPD gene polymorphism differed between white and nonwhite Brazilians, and that the frequencies of the XPD 312Asn and XRCC1 399Gln alleles in this Brazilian population showed ethnic variability when compared with those observed in other populations.

Abstract
There are more than 50 subtypes of soft tissue sarcomas, among which 30% are associated with specific genetic alterations, including translocations. Several studies have reported associations between cancer risk and polymorphisms of DNA repair genes from the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. NER involves more than 20 proteins whose inactivation leads to xeroderma pigmentosum (XP) or cockayne syndrome (CS), among which XPD, a helicase allowing DNA strand excision by the endonuclease XPG. DNA from 93 patients with synovial sarcomas, myxoid liposarcomas, dermatofibrosarcomas protuberans (DFSP), malignant fibrous histiocytomas and leiomyosarcomas were genotyped for both XPD Lys751Gln and XPG Asp1104His polymorphisms. Departure from Hardy-Weinberg was highly significant for the XPG polymorphism with an excess of heterozygotes in synovial sarcomas (p = 1.5 x 10(-5)), myxoid liposarcomas (p = 1.5 x 10(-4)) and to a lesser extent in DFSP (p = 0.028). In the case of XPD, a significant deviation was observed in synovial sarcomas (p = 3 x 10(-6)) and DFSP (p = 0.0014). When tumors were pooled according to their genetic alterations, the proportion of carriers of the variant XPG allele was significantly increased in sarcomas with specific translocations as compared to sarcomas with complex genetics (p < 10(-9)). No difference was found for XPD. Genotyping of the tumor samples in synovial sarcomas and myxoid liposarcomas revealed frequent loss of heterozygosity for XPG, mostly due to the loss of the frequent allele. For XPD, both alleles were lost with a similar frequency. Our results raise the potential implication of the XPG Asp1104His polymorphism in the occurrence of chromosomal translocations associated with specific subtypes of sarcomas.

Abstract
The ERCC2 gene (excision repair cross-complementing rodent repair deficiency, complementation group 2 [xeroderma pigmentosum D]) (previously XPD), encoding a DNA repair protein, is involved in nucleotide excision repair and basal transcription. To test the effect of the polymorphism ERCC2 Lys751Gln on the risk of lung cancer in a northeastern Chinese population, a hospital-based case-control study was designed consisting of 147 newly diagnosed and previously untreated subjects with lung cancer and 145 cancer-free control subjects matched on age (+/-3 years), gender, and ethnicity. Among the controls, the allele frequency of the C-allele of ERCC2 Lys751Gln was 0.02. The C-allele of ERCC2 Lys751Gln was significantly overrepresented among lung cancer cases (C versus A: adjusted odds ratio OR(adj) = 2.61, 95% CI = 1.12-6.05, P = 0.03). The carriers of AC genotype were at 2.78-fold (OR(adj) = 2.78, 95% CI = 1.12-6.93) higher risk of lung cancer than carriers of the AA genotype. Subdivided by tumor type, carriers of AC genotype had a 4.65-fold higher risk of squamous cell carcinoma of lung compared with carriers of AA genotype (OR(adj) = 4.65, 95% CI = 1.67-12.98, P = 0.003); similar, but not statistically significant estimates were found for adenocarcinoma of lung. In conclusion, our results suggest that ERCC2 Lys751Gln(C) allele is a potential risk marker for lung cancer in this northeastern Chinese population.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of XPD genotypes as genetic indicator of susceptibility to ovarian cancer. We have used a case-control study. We analysed DNA samples from 141 ovarian cancer patients and 202 control subjects, for three XPD polymorphisms using PCR-RFLP. We observed that Asn312Asn XPD genotype carriers have increased susceptibility of ovarian cancer (OR=2.46 95% CI 1.20-5.06; P=0.015). Furthermore, we found that carriers of Gln751Gln XPD genotype have an increased susceptibility of ovarian cancer (OR=3.40 95% CI 1.61-7.15; P=0.001). Asn312Asn and Gln751Gln are particularly associated with an early-stage of disease. Our results suggest an important role for Asn312Asn and Gln751Gln XPD polymorphisms in the susceptibility to ovarian cancer.

Abstract
Genetic variability in DNA repair genes may contribute to differences in DNA repair capacity and susceptibility to cancer, especially in the presence of exposures such as smoking. In a Minnesota-based case-control study of cases with only adenomatous polyps (n = 384), only hyperplastic polyps (n = 191), or both types of polyps (n = 119) versus polyp-free controls (n = 601), we investigated the role of polymorphisms in the DNA repair genes O(6)-methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT; p.L84F and p.I143V), XPD (p.D312N and p.K751Q), and XPG (p.D1104H). MGMT polymorphisms were not associated with polyp risk. Overall, a homozygous variant XPD-combined genotype was associated with an increased risk of adenomatous polyps [odds ratio (OR), 1.57; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.04-2.38] and an XPGHH1104 genotype with a decreased risk of hyperplastic polyps (OR, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.13-0.98). However, age stratification showed that the XPD association was present only in subjects >/=60 years old (OR, 3.77; 95% CI, 1.94-7.35), whereas the XPG association was observed largely in subjects <60 years old (OR, 0.20; 95% CI, 0.05-0.91). Smokers did not have a significantly increased risk of adenomatous polyps in the absence of synchronous hyperplastic polyps, except for subjects with a homozygous variant XPD genotype or a homozygous wild-type XPG genotype (OR, 3.93; 95% CI, 1.68-9.21 and OR, 1.59; 95% CI, 1.01-2.50, respectively). Smoking was associated with a statistically significant 2.5- to 6-fold increased risk of hyperplastic polyps for individuals with most of the DNA repair genotypes. However, no substantial increase was observed among individuals who were homozygous variant for XPG (1104HH; OR, 1.38; 95% CI, 0.25-7.65). Our data suggest that polymorphisms in DNA repair genes may be risk factors for colorectal neoplasia and that they may exacerbate the effects of exposures to carcinogens.

Abstract
The ERCC2 protein is an evolutionary conserved ATP-dependent helicase that is associated with a TFIIH transcription factor complex and plays an important role in nucleotide excision repair. Mutations in this gene are responsible for xeroderma pigmentosum and also for Cocayne syndrome and trichothiodystrophy. Several single nucleotide polymorphisms have been identified in the ERCC2 locus. Among them, a G23591A polymorphism in the codon 312 results in an Asp --> Asn substitution in a conserved region and a A35931C polymorphism in the codon 751 results in a Lys --> Gln substitution. Because these polymorphisms have been associated with an increased risk for several types of cancers, we carried out an hospital based case-control study in a Caucasian Portuguese population to evaluate the potential role of these polymorphisms on the individual susceptibility to thyroid cancer. The results obtained did not reveal a significant association between each individual polymorphism studied (G23591A and A35931C) and an increased thyroid cancer risk, but individuals homozygous for non-wild-type variants are overrepresented in patients group. The evaluation of the different haplotypes generated by these polymorphisms showed that individuals simultaneously homozygous for rare variants of both polymorphisms have an increased risk for thyroid cancer [adjusted odds ratio (OR) 3.084; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.347-7.061; P = 0.008] and for papillary thyroid-type tumors (adjusted OR, 2.997; 95% CI, 1.235-7.272; P = 0.015) but not for follicular thyroid-type tumors. These results suggest that genetic polymorphisms in this gene might be associated with individual susceptibility towards thyroid cancer, mainly papillary-type tumors, but larger studies are required to confirm these results.
