J Cell Mol Med 2022; 26:5439-5451. [PMID: 36181289 PMCID: PMC9639052 DOI: 10.1111/jcmm.17566] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2022] [Revised: 08/10/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Platinum‐based chemotherapy is regarded as a preferential curative‐intent option for non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), while the acquired drug resistance has become a major obstacle that limits its clinical application. Since the repair efficiency of tumour cells to platinum‐DNA adducts plays a crucial role in chemotherapy resistance, we aimed to explore whether several meaningful polymorphisms of DNA repair genes were associated with the benefits of platinum‐based chemotherapy in NSCLC patients. Firstly, six single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in the 3'untranslated region (3'UTR) of three DNA repair genes were detected in 246 NSCLC patients receiving platinum‐based chemotherapy and analysed the correlation of these candidate SNPs with the overall survival. Cox proportional hazard model showed that NSCLC patients carrying ERCC1 rs3212986 AA genotype had a shorter overall survival compared to those with CC. Mechanistically, we performed tumour chemosensitivity assay to observe the convincing linkage of rs3212986 polymorphism with ERCC1 expression and cisplatin sensitivity. The subsequent in vitro experiments identified that rs3212986 polymorphism altered the post‐transcriptional regulation of ERCC1 via affecting the binding of miR‐15a, and further changed the sensitivity to platinum analogue. It reminded that patients carrying ERCC1 rs3212986 CC homozygote were expected to respond better to platinum‐based chemotherapy due to a lower expression of ERCC1. Compared with previous studies, our current comprehensive study suggested that rs3212986, a 3'UTR polymorphism in ERCC1, might have clinical relevance in predicting the prognosis of NSCLC patients receiving platinum‐based chemotherapy.

Association between polymorphisms of ABCB1 and prognosis in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients treated with taxane. J Gene Med 2022; 24:e3434. [PMID: 35662334 DOI: 10.1002/jgm.3434] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/21/2022] [Revised: 05/17/2022] [Accepted: 05/28/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
In China, most esophageal cancer patients are squamous cell carcinomas and treated with taxane-containing regimens; however, few studies have examined taxane pharmacokinetics genes and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) prognosis. A total of 227 pathologically confirmed ESCC patients receiving chemotherapy with taxane were included in the analysis. We genotyped seven SNPs-rs1045642, rs2032582, and rs3213619 of ABCB1; rs2231137 and rs2231142 of ABCG2; and ABCC1 rs246221 and ABCC2 rs3740066-and analyzed their relationship with overall survival. With a retrospective cohort study design, by Cox regression and semi-Bayesian shrinkage, in the genetic recessive model, the variant homozygote of ABCB1 rs1045642 was inversely associated with survival (semi-Bayesian shrinkage cHR=1.82, 95% CI=1.00, 3.31; p=0.0482). Due to inherent defects of the research itself, the finding that the ABCB1 rs1045642 variant was related to poor prognosis in ESCC patients treated with taxane-containing regimens needs to be tested in a larger population and by more genetic and molecular mechanism experiments.

Abstract
Compared with other subgroups of breast cancer, triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is considered to be the one with the greatest invasiveness and metastatic mobility, and the highest recurrence rate. Considering the lack of predictive markers for TNBC, we aimed to examine the contribution of excision repair cross complementing-group 1 (ERCC1) genotypes to TNBC. The rs11615 and rs3212986 of ERCC1 were investigated and evaluated for their associations with susceptibility to breast cancer, especially TNBC, in Taiwan. In this study, 1,232 breast cancer patients (104 were TNBC) and 1,232 healthy controls were recruited and their genotypes at ERCC1 rs11615 and rs3212986 were revealed by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis. Our results indicated that genotypes of ERCC1 rs11615 (Ptrend = 2.2*10E-9), but not rs3212986 (Ptrend = 0.6181), were associated with breast cancer risk. In the allelic frequency distribution analysis, breast cancer patients carried the T allele of ERCC1 rs11615 a higher rate than the control subjects, further supporting the idea that ERCC1 rs11615 TT genotype is positively associated with breast cancer susceptibility. More importantly, the frequency of the ERCC1 rs11615 TT genotype was even higher among TNBC patients than among other subtypes of breast cancer patients (P = 0.0001, odds ratio = 1.73, 95% confidence interval = 1.15-2.63). The genotypes of ERCC1 rs11615 were not associated with Ki67 status. Our findings firstly show that the T allele of ERCC1 rs11615 can serve as a predictive biomarker for breast cancer and TNBC. We believe that ERCC1 could serve as a target for personalized treatment of breast cancer, especially for TNBC.

Abstract
Bladder cancer (BCa) is burdened by high rates of chemo- and radio-resistance. We reviewed and summarized the current evidence regarding the genetic determinants of resistance in patients treated with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy (RT) for BCa. Genetic heterogeneity may preexist to treatment arising with tumorigenesis or increasing progressively during the treatment. Several biological pathways seem to be involved in the cellular response to treatment. These pathways comprehend mechanisms leading to modify the intracellular concentration of the drug, mechanisms leading to increase the repair of DNA damage caused by the treatment, mechanisms leading to increase cell survival, despite DNA damage, acting on the signaling pathways affecting apoptosis, mechanisms promoting autophagy. In the present review, we focused on the genetic determinants of resistance affecting the aforementioned mechanisms.

Abstract
Establishing low-cost, high-throughput, simple, and accurate single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping techniques is beneficial for understanding the intrinsic relationship between individual genetic variations and their biological functions on a genomic scale. Here, a straightforward and reliable single-molecule approach is demonstrated for precise SNP authentication by directly measuring the fluctuations in electrical signals in an electronic circuit, which is fabricated from a high-gain field-effect silicon nanowire decorated with a single hairpin DNA, in the presence of different target DNAs. By simply comparing the proportion difference of a probe-target duplex structure throughout the process, this study implements allele-specific and accurate SNP detection. These results are supported by the statistical analyses of different dynamic parameters such as the mean lifetime and the unwinding probability of the duplex conformation. In comparison with conventional polymerase chain reaction and optical methods, this convenient and label-free method is complementary to existing optical methods and also shows several advantages, such as simple operation and no requirement for fluorescent labeling, thus promising a futuristic route toward the next-generation genotyping technique.

Functional intronic ERCC1 polymorphism from regulomeDB can predict survival in lung cancer after surgery. Oncotarget 2016; 6:24522-32.

Abstract
We searched for potential regulatory single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in excision repair cross-complementing group 1 (ERCC1) using RegulomeDB, a database integrating information from the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project, and investigated their association with survival after surgery in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Among 364 SNPs found within ERCC1 region using RegulomeDB, four top priority SNPs (rs2298881C>A, rs1049739A>G, rs10415949A>G and rs6509214G>T) were selected for this study. The four SNPs were investigated in 316 patients. A replication study was performed (n = 579). Of the four SNPs analyzed in the discovery set, rs2298881C>A and rs6509214G>T were significantly associated with survival outcomes. The association was consistently observed only for rs2298881C>A in the validation cohort. In combined analysis, rs2298881C>A was significantly associated with worse overall survival and disease-free survival (P = 0.0002 and 0.02, respectively). A decreased reporter gene expression for rs2298881 A allele was observed compared with C allele by luciferase assay (P = 0.02). ERCC1 rs2298881C>A, an intronic SNP, is the first genetic polymorphism with functional evidence of regulating its expression, and the SNP is associated with prognosis of NSCLC. Our result supports the role of RegulomeDB as a comprehensive source of prioritized candidate SNPs for genetic association studies.

Abstract
Identification of biomarkers used for the prognostic evaluation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients is important. The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential prognostic value of XRCC1, ERCC1, ERCC2, and TP53 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in completely resected NSCLC patients. In total, 130 patients, surgically treated for NSCLC between 2000 and 2012, were included. An analysis of SNPs from peripheral blood cells was performed by polymerase chain reaction. XRCC1 Arg399Gln, ERCC1 Asn118Asn, ERCC2 Lys751Gln, and TP53 Arg72Pro polymorphisms were evaluated in conjunction with clinical and pathological parameters and survival. Kaplan-Meier method and Cox regression analysis were used. Median age rate was 59.3, ranging between 36 and 78 years. Median relapse-free survival duration (RFS) was found as 46.2 months. In those with ERCC2 CC allele, median RFS was detected as 28.3 months (95 % confidence interval (CI), 20.8-35.8), 46.9 months in those with CT heterozygous (95 % CI, 18.6-75.2), and 80.1 months for those with TT mutant allel (95 % CI, 33.0-127.2). Median RFS was seen to be longer in mutant group and also statistically significant (P = 0.018). Additionally, upon evaluating CC normal group with CT + TT alleles including mutant alleles, median RFS was found as 56.5 months (95 % CI, 24.6-88.4) in CT + TT group, and this was statistically significant (P = 0.005) Also, median RFS was 15.1 months in those including ERCC2 CC allele and 56.5 months in CT + TT allele in the group with no adjuvant treatment (P = 0.001). In conclusion, our study showed that ERCC2/XPD polymorphism is an independent prognostic factor in operated NSCLC patients, and these findings should be supported with prospective studies.

Abstract
During the past two decades the first sequencing of the human genome was performed showing its high degree of inter-individual differentiation, as a result of large international research projects (Human Genome Project, the 1000 Genomes Project International HapMap Project, and Programs for Genomic Applications NHLBI-PGA). This period was also a time of intensive development of molecular biology techniques and enormous knowledge growth in the biology of cancer. For clinical use in the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), in addition to fluoropyrimidines, another two new cytostatic drugs were allowed: irinotecan and oxaliplatin. Intensive research into new treatment regimens and a new generation of drugs used in targeted therapy has also been conducted. The last 20 years was a time of numerous in vitro and in vivo studies on the molecular basis of drug resistance. One of the most important factors limiting the effectiveness of chemotherapy is the primary and secondary resistance of cancer cells. Understanding the genetic factors and mechanisms that contribute to the lack of or low sensitivity of tumour tissue to cytostatics is a key element in the currently developing trend of personalized medicine. Scientists hope to increase the percentage of positive treatment response in CRC patients due to practical applications of pharmacogenetics/pharmacogenomics. Over the past 20 years the clinical usability of different predictive markers has been tested among which only a few have been confirmed to have high application potential. This review is a synthetic presentation of drug resistance in the context of CRC patient chemotherapy. The multifactorial nature and volume of the issues involved do not allow the author to present a comprehensive study on this subject in one review.

Abstract
Background Excision repair cross-complimentary group 1 (ERCC1) is an essential component of the nucleotide excision repair system that is responsible for repairing damaged DNA. Functional genetic variations in the ERCC1 gene may alter DNA repair capacity and modulate cancer risk. The putative roles of ERCC1 gene polymorphisms in lung cancer susceptibility have been widely investigated. However, the results remain controversial. Objectives An updated meta-analysis was conducted to explore whether lung cancer risk could be attributed to the following ERCC1 polymorphisms: rs11615 (T>C), rs3212986 (C>A), rs3212961 (A>C), rs3212948 (G>C), rs2298881 (C>A). Methods Several major databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE and Scopus) and the Chinese Biomedical database were searched for eligible studies. Crude odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used to measure the strength of associations. Results Sixteen studies with 10,106 cases and 13,238 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Pooled ORs from 11 eligible studies (8,215 cases vs. 11,402 controls) suggested a significant association of ERCC1 rs11615 with increased risk for lung cancer (homozygous: CC versus TT, OR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.04–1.48, P = 0.02). However, such an association was disproportionately driven by a single study. Removal of that study led to null association. Moreover, initial analyses suggested that ERCC1 rs11615 exerts a more profound effect on the susceptibility of non-smokers to lung cancer than that of smokers. Moreover, no statistically significant association was found between remaining ERCC1 polymorphisms of interest and lung cancer risk, except for rs3212948 variation (heterozygous: CG vs.GG, OR = 0.78, 95% CI: 0.67–0.90, P = 0.001; dominant: CG/CC vs.GG, OR = 0.79, 95% CI: 0.69–0.91, P = 0.001). Conclusion Overall, this meta-analysis suggests that ERCC1 rs3212948 G>C, but not others, is a lung cancer risk-associated polymorphism. Carefully designed studies with large sample size involving different ethnicity, smoking status, and cancer types are needed to validate these findings.

Haplotype analysis of PPARγ C681G and intron CT variants. Positive association with essential hypertension. Herz 2013; 39:264-70. [PMID: 23652783 DOI: 10.1007/s00059-013-3819-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/16/2012] [Revised: 03/07/2013] [Accepted: 03/14/2013] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND There is strong evidence suggesting an association between the peroxisome-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) gene and multimetabolic disorders. The association of PPARγ genetic variants with essential hypertension (EH) has not yet been investigated. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the PPARγ gene (C681G and intron CT) and EH, examining the polymorphism and haplotype in a Han Chinese population. METHODS Participants were recruited within the framework of the PMMJS cohort population survey in an urban community of Jiangsu Province, China. Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) previously reported to be associated with multimetabolic disorders and the reasonable coverage of the PPARγ gene region were analyzed with TaqMan SNP genotyping assays. RESULTS C681G and intron CT were significantly associated with an increased risk of EH both in the codominant model and the dominant model after adjusting for potential nongenetic risk factors. Analysis of the haplotype association revealed that the risk of EH was significantly increased among individuals carrying the GC (odds ratio, 95 % CI: 1.60, 1.21-2.11), CT (1.45, 1.03-2.11), and GT haplotypes (1.95, 1.17-3.23) compared with those carrying the CC haplotype. CONCLUSION The polymorphisms of C681G and intron CT were significantly associated with the risk of EH, and the GC, CT, and GT haplotypes established by C681G and intron CT are likely to be genetic markers of EH in the Han Chinese population.

Abstract
DNA repair variants may play a potentially important role in an individual's susceptibility to developing cancer. Numerous studies have reported the association between genetic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair genes and different types of hematologic cancers. However, to date, the effects of such SNPs on modulating Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) risk have not yet been investigated. We hypothesized that gene-gene interaction between candidate genes in direct reversal, nucleotide excision repair (NER), base excision repair (BER) and double strand break (DSB) pathways may contribute to susceptibility to HL. To test this hypothesis, we conducted a study on 200 HL cases and 220 controls to assess associations between HL risk and 21 functional SNPs in DNA repair genes. We evaluated potential gene-gene interactions and the association of multiple polymorphisms in a chromosome region using a multi-analytic strategy combining logistic regression, multi-factor dimensionality reduction and classification and regression tree approaches. We observed that, in combination, allelic variants in the XPC Ala499Val, NBN Glu185Gln, XRCC3 Thr241Me, XRCC1 Arg194Trp, and XRCC1 399Gln polymorphisms modify the risk for developing HL. Moreover, the cumulative genetic risk score revealed a significant trend where the risk for developing HL increases as the number of adverse alleles in BER and DSB genes increase. These findings suggest that DNA repair variants in BER and DSB pathways may play an important role in the development of HL.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS With great progress made in individualized chemotherapy, pharmacogenetics is gradually put on the agenda. We performed this meta-analysis to compare outcome to platinum-based chemotherapies in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with different ERCC1 C118T/C8092A and MDR1 C3435T polymorphisms. METHODS Relevant studies were identified according to search strategy in this meta-analysis. Inclusion criteria were patients with advanced NSCLC who were receiving platinum-based chemotherapies. We evaluated the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and outcome of platinum-based chemotherapies. RevMan and STATA package were used for the comprehensive quantitative analyses. RESULTS Twenty studies were included in the meta-analysis. There was no significant association between SNPs and objective response or overall survival of platinum-based chemotherapies with CC vs. CT/TT: ERCC1 C118T (OR 1.21, 95% CI 0.81-1.82 for objective response; HR 1.09, 95% CI 0.79-1.51 for overall survival); ERCC1 C8092A SNP (OR 0.84, 95% CI 0.59-1.18; HR 1.26, 95% CI 0.68-2.36) and MDR1 C3435T SNP (HR 1.11, 95% CI 0.78-1.56). Ethnic stratification provided the same results. We found a significant difference for MDR1 C3435T (OR 2.22, 95% CI 1.46-3.37; OR 2.63, 95% CI 1.56-4.45 for Asians; OR 1.61, 95% CI 0.79-3.28 for Caucasians). CONCLUSIONS We found no evidence to support the use of ERCC1 C118T/C8092A polymorphisms as prognostic predictors of platinum-based chemotherapies in NSCLC. For the MDR1 C3435T SNP, a significant association with objective response was detected for CC genotype in overall and Asian populations stratified. Multiple and large-scale studies with ethnic stratification are required for the correlation between biomarkers and tumor prognosis.

Abstract
Advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma are both treated with DNA damaging agents including platinum-based compounds and radiation therapy. However, at least one quarter of all tumors are resistant or refractory to these genotoxic agents. Yet the agents are extremely toxic, leading to undesirable side effects with potentially no benefit. Alternative therapies exist, but currently there are no tools to predict whether the first-line genotoxic agents will work in any given patient. To maximize therapeutic success and limit unnecessary toxicity, emerging clinical trials aim to inform personalized treatments tailored to the biology of individual tumors. Worldwide, significant resources have been invested in identifying biomarkers for guiding the treatment of lung and head and neck cancer. DNA repair proteins of the nucleotide excision repair pathway (ERCC1) and of the base excision repair pathway (XRCC1), which are instrumental in clearing DNA damage caused by platinum drugs and radiation, have been extensively studied as potential biomarkers of clinical outcomes in lung and head and neck cancers. The results are complex and contradictory. Here we summarize the current status of single nucleotide polymorphisms, mRNA, and protein expression of ERCC1 and XRCC1 in relation to cancer risk and patient outcomes.

Abstract
DNA repair genes play a crucial role in carcinogenesis. The paper aims to explore if common variants in ERCC1 are involved in lung cancer susceptibility. A Chinese case-control study included 339 lung cancer cases and 358 controls using five haplotype-tagging SNPs (htSNPs) (rs3212980, rs3212964, rs3212961, rs11615 and rs2298881) from the HapMap database, capturing 95% of the common haplotypic diversity of ERCC1. A combined analysis of eleven htSNPs covering ERCC2 and ERCC1 was performed. No significant association between individual htSNPs and lung cancer susceptibility was observed. There were interactions between rs3212961 and rs2298881and smoking duration (P=0.03 and P=0.01, respectively). Thus, the variant alleles of rs3212961 [OR (95% CI)=1.81(1.03-3.17), P=0.04] and rs2298881 [OR (95% CI)=2.16(1.26-3.70), P=0.005] were associated with risk of lung cancer among long-term smokers (>20 years) but not among never smokers and short-term smokers. No significant associations with lung cancer susceptibility were observed for global or individual haplotypes defined by five htSNPs of ERCC1. A highly differential distribution of haplotypes based on eleven htSNPs covering ERCC2 and ERCC1 were found (global test P=4.3×10(-5)). After Bonferroni correction, haplotypeER2+1-1 [OR (95% CI)=3.63 (1.39-9.47), P=0.005, marginally] and haplotypeER2+1-8 [OR (95% CI)=4.46 (2.03-9.79), P=5.6×10(-5), strongly] were associated with increased risk of lung cancer. The diplotype analysis with haplotypeER2+1-8 was also statistically significant (P<0.001). Haplotype analysis of pathological subtypes revealed that htSNPs of both genes may mainly influence the risk of lung adenocarcinoma. Strong linkage disequilibrium exist in two regions encompassing ERCC2 and ERCC1. These data suggest that common genetic variations in ERCC1 may influence increased risk of smoking-related lung cancer and one of the causative effectors may locate around or within ERCC2.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway modulates platinum-based chemotherapeutic efficacy by removing drug-induced DNA damage. METHODS To summarize published data on the association between NER genes and responses to platinum-based chemotherapies in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), we performed a meta-analysis of 17 published studies of ERCC1 C118T/C8092A and ERCC2 Lys751Gln/Asp312Asn polymorphisms, including 2097 cancer patients. Primary outcomes included objective response (TR) (i.e., complete response+partial response vs. stable disease+progressive disease), progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). We calculated odds ratio (OR) or hazard ratio (HR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) to estimate the risk or hazard. RESULTS We found that none of the ERCC1 C118T/C8092A and ERCC2 Lys751Gln/Asp312Asn polymorphisms alone was statistically significantly associated with objective response, PFS and OS in NSCLC patients. CONCLUSION There is no evidence to support the use of NER ERCC1 C118T/C8092A and ERCC2 Lys751Gln/Asp312Asn polymorphisms as prognostic predictors of platinum-based chemotherapies in NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The formation of bulky DNA adducts caused by diol epoxide derivatives of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons has been associated with tobacco-induced cancers, and inefficient repair of such adducts by the nucleotide excision repair (NER) system has been linked to increased risk of tobacco-induced lung and head and neck (H&N) cancers. The human excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) protein is essential for a functional NER system and genetic variation in ERCC1 may contribute to impaired DNA repair capacity and increased lung and H&N cancer risk. METHODS In order to comprehensively capture common genetic variation in the ERCC1 gene, Caucasian data from the International HapMap project was used to assess linkage disequilibrium and choose four tagSNPs (rs1319052, rs3212955, rs3212948, and rs735482) in the ERCC1 gene to genotype 452 lung cancer cases, 175 H&N cancer cases, and 790 healthy controls. Haplotypes were estimated using expectation maximization (EM) algorithm, and haplotype association with cancer was investigated using Haplo.stats software adjusting for known covariates. RESULTS The genotype and haplotype frequencies matched previous estimates from Caucasians. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of rs1319052, rs3212955, rs3212948, and rs735482 when comparing lung or H&N cancer cases with controls (p-values>0.05). Similarly, there was no association between ERCC1 haplotypes and lung or H&N cancer susceptibility in this Caucasian population (p-values>0.05). No associations were found when stratifying lung cancer cases by histology, sex, smoking status, or smoking intensity. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that ERCC1 polymorphisms and haplotypes do not play a role in lung and H&N cancer susceptibility in Caucasians.

Abstract
Gene-environment interactions determine inter-individual variations in nucleotide excision repair (NER) capacity. Oxidative stress was previously found to inhibit NER, thus supplementation with dietary antioxidants could prevent this inhibition, especially in genetically susceptible subjects. To study the effects of genetic polymorphisms in NER-related genes and dietary intake of antioxidants on an individual's NER capacity, lymphocytes of 168 subjects were isolated before and after a 4-week blueberry and apple juice intervention. Twelve genetic polymorphisms in NER genes XPA, XPC, ERCC1, ERCC2, ERCC5, ERCC6 and RAD23B were assessed by multiplex PCR with single base extension. Based on specific genotype combinations, a subset of individuals (n 36) was selected for phenotypical assessment of NER capacity, which was significantly affected by the total sum of low-activity alleles (P = 0.027). The single polymorphism XPA G23A was the strongest predictor of NER capacity (P = 0.002); carriers of low-activity alleles AA had about three times lower NER capacity than XPA GG carriers. NER capacity assessed before and after intervention correlated significantly (R(2) 0.69; P < 0.001), indicating that inter-individual differences in NER capacity are maintained over 4 weeks. Although the intervention increased plasma trolox equivalent antioxidant capacity from 791 (SE 6.61) to 805 (SE 7.90) microm (P = 0.032), on average it did not affect NER capacity. Nonetheless, carriers of twelve or more low-activity alleles seemed to benefit from the intervention (P = 0.013). Among these, carriers of the variant allele for RAD23B Ala249Val showed improved NER capacity upon intervention (P = 0.020). In conclusion, improved NER capacity upon dietary intervention was detected in individuals carrying multiple low-activity alleles. The XPA G23A polymorphism might be a predictor for NER capacity.

Abstract
A brief history of human genetics and genomics is provided, comparing recent progress in those fields with that in pharmacogenetics and pharmacogenomics, which are subsets of genetics and genomics, respectively. Sequencing of the entire human genome, the mapping of common haplotypes of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and cost-effective genotyping technologies leading to genome-wide association (GWA) studies - have combined convincingly in the past several years to demonstrate the requirements needed to separate true associations from the plethora of false positives. While research in human genetics has moved from monogenic to oligogenic to complex diseases, its pharmacogenetics branch has followed, usually a few years behind. The continuous discoveries, even today, of new surprises about our genome cause us to question reviews declaring that "personalized medicine is almost here" or that "individualized drug therapy will soon be a reality." As summarized herein, numerous reasons exist to show that an "unequivocal genotype" or even an "unequivocal phenotype" is virtually impossible to achieve in current limited-size studies of human populations. This problem (of insufficiently stringent criteria) leads to a decrease in statistical power and, consequently, equivocal interpretation of most genotype-phenotype association studies. It remains unclear whether personalized medicine or individualized drug therapy will ever be achievable by means of DNA testing alone.
