Abstract
Background This case-control study aimed to analyze the association of XRCC2 polymorphisms (rs3218408 and rs3218384) with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. The interaction of XRCC2 polymorphisms with environmental factors was investigated as well. Material/Methods We enrolled 147 CRC patients and 114 healthy individuals into the study. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-sequencing method was performed to detect rs3218408 and rs3218384 polymorphisms. Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) was checked in the control group. Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) represented the risk of CRC. Cross-table method was used in analyzing the interaction effects. Results Compared to the control group, the frequency of smokers was much higher in the case group (P<0.001). A similar result was observed in drinkers (55.8% vs. 40.4%, P=0.013). Dietary habits of all subjects were investigated as well, showing that CRC patients ate fewer vegetables than did healthy controls (P<0.001). In the analysis of polymorphisms, rs3218408 appeared to be an independent risk factor of CRC (GG: OR=2.048, 95%CI=1.032–4.061; G allele: OR=1.445, 95%CI=1.019–2.049). There were 68 (76.4%) C allele carriers (rs3218384) among smokers, which was higher than the number of G allele carriers (P<0.001). A similar outcome was observed for alcohol drinkers (P=0.048), which suggests a relationship of rs3218384 with smoking and drinking. Further analysis indicated that interaction of rs3218384 with smoking increased the risk of CRC (GG and smoking: OR=3.250, 95%CI=1.235–8.556; GC+CC and smoking: OR=2.167, 95%CI=1.175–3.996). Conclusions We found that rs3218408 was related with increased risk of CRC, and the interaction of rs3218384 with smoking increased the risk of CRC.

Abstract
The double-strand break DNA repair pathway, including XRCC2 and XRCC3 genes, is implicated in maintaining genomic stability and therefore could affect the pancreatic cancer risk. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the clinical significance of the XRCC2 and XRCC3 gene polymorphisms in patients with pancreatic cancer. The present study included 203 patients: 101 with pancreatic cancer and 102 healthy controls. The Arg188His XRCC2 and the Thr241Met XRCC3 gene polymorphisms have been studied in DNA isolated from blood samples. The associations of the analysed genotypes and clinical data at diagnosis have been evaluated. The frequencies of the genotypes of the Arg188His XRCC2 and Thr241Met XRCC3 polymorphisms did not differ significantly between patients and controls. The study did not identify a correlation between the XRCC2 and XRCC3 genes polymorphisms and tumor size or localisation. Analysed polymorphisms were also not associated with the gender and age of the patient, or the presence of regional or distant metastases. In conclusion, the present study did not suggest an association between the Arg188His XRCC2 and the Thr241Met XRCC3 polymorphisms and the clinical data of patients with pancreatic cancer.

Abstract
Homologous recombination (HR) repair has a crucial role to play in the prevention of chromosomal instability, and it is clear that defects in some HR repair genes are associated with many cancers. To evaluate the potential effect of some HR repair gene polymorphisms with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC), we assessed Rad51 (135G>C), Rad52 (2259C>T), XRCC2 (R188H) and XRCC3 (T241M) polymorphisms in Iranian DTC patients and cancer-free controls. In addition, haplotype analysis and gene combination assessment were carried out. Genotyping of Rad51 (135G>C), Rad52 (2259C>T) and XRCC3 (T241M) polymorphisms was determined by PCR-RFLP and PCR-HRM analysis was carried out to evaluate XRCC2 (R188H) . Separately, Rad51, Rad52 and XRCC2 polymorphisms were not shown to be more significant in patients when compared to controls in crude, sex-adjusted and age-adjusted form. However, results indicated a significant difference in XRCC3 genotypes for patients when compared to controls (p value: 0.035). The GCTG haplotype demonstrated a significant difference (p value: 0.047). When compared to the wild type, the combined variant form of Rad52/XRCC2/XRCC3 revealed an elevated risk of DTC (p value: 0.007). It is recommended that Rad52 2259C>T, XRCC2 R188H and XRCC3 T241M polymorphisms should be simultaneously considered as contributing to a polygenic risk of differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

XRCC2 gene polymorphisms and its protein are associated with colorectal cancer susceptibility in Chinese Han population. Med Oncol 2014; 31:245.

Abstract
XRCC2 is an essential part of the homologous recombination repair pathway. However, relatively little is known about the effect of XRCC2 gene C41657T and G4234C polymorphisms on the individual susceptibility to colorectal cancer (CRC). The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between XRCC2 gene C41657T and G4234C polymorphisms and CRC and to explore the relationship among the polymorphisms and clinicopathologic parameters and protein expression levels of XRCC2. A hospital-based case-control study was conducted with 246 CRC cases and 262 healthy controls. The genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. XRCC2 protein was analyzed by immunohistochemistry for the paraffin sections of 120 CRC cases. The study data showed that the C41657T genotypes were associated with the risk of CRC. The CT/TT genotypes and T allele were overrepresented among the CRC cases. Compared with CC, CT/TT enhanced the risk of CRC (odds ratio = 1.646, 95 % confidence interval = 1.127-2.404, P = 0.010). XRCC2 protein expression of CRC patients with CT/TT genotypes was significantly higher than that of the patients with CC genotype (χ (2) = 4.887, P = 0.027). XRCC2 gene G4234C polymorphisms have no relevance to the risk of CRC. Our findings suggest that XRCC2 C41657T polymorphism may adjust the XRCC2 expression and might influence susceptibility of CRC.

Abstract
Background Association between the single nucleotide polymorphism rs3218536 (known as Arg188His) located in the X-ray repair cross complementing group 2 (XRCC2) gene and cancer susceptibility has been widely investigated. However, results thus far have remained controversial. A meta-analysis was performed to identify the impact of this polymorphism on cancer susceptibility. Methods PubMed and Embase databases were searched systematically until September 7, 2013 to obtain all the records evaluating the association between the XRCC2 Arg188His polymorphism and the risk of all types of cancers. We used the odds ratio (OR) as measure of effect, and pooled the data in a Mantel-Haenszel weighed random-effects meta-analysis to provide a summary estimate of the impact of this polymorphism on breast cancer, ovarian cancer and other cancers. All the analyses were carried out in STATA 12.0. Results With 30868 cases and 38656 controls, a total of 45 case-control studies from 26 publications were eventually included in our meta-analysis. No significant association was observed between the XRCC2 Arg188His polymorphism and breast cancer susceptibility (dominant model: OR = 0.94, 95%CI = 0.86–1.04, P = 0.232). However, a significant impact of this polymorphism was detected on decreased ovarian cancer risk (dominant model: OR = 0.83, 95%CI = 0.73–0.95, P = 0.007). In addition, we found this polymorphism was associated with increased upper aerodigestive tract (UADT) cancer susceptibility (dominant model: OR = 1.51, 95%CI = 1.04–2.20, P = 0.032). Conclusion The Arg188His polymorphism might play different roles in carcinogenesis of various cancer types. Current evidence did not suggest that this polymorphism was directly associated with breast cancer susceptibility. However, this polymorphism might contribute to decreased gynecological cancer risk and increased UADT cancer risk. More preclinical and epidemiological studies were still imperative for further evaluation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of our study was to assess the performance of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging to differentiate benign from malignant thyroid nodules. METHODS 182 patients who needed thyroid surgery were examined. All patients and 50 healthy volunteers underwent ARFI sonoelastography, which quantitatively analysed the elasticity and hardness of the nodule's centre and periphery. RESULTS ARFI values showed a statistical significance between malignant nodules and benign nodules and common thyroid parenchyma, in both the centre and periphery of nodules (p < 0.01). There was no significant difference between benign nodules and common thyroid parenchyma in either the nodule's centre or periphery (p > 0.05). There was no significant difference between the nodule's centre and periphery of the elastic parameters in both the benign and malignant nodules. There was a statistically significant difference among the two areas (the central group and the peripheral group) under the receiver operating characteristic curve, and the optimal model was the peripheral group. For differentiation of malignant from benign nodules, the sensitivity and specificity were 96.3% and 96.2%, respectively, when 2.545 m s(-1) was chosen as a cut-off value in the peripheral group. CONCLUSION ARFI imaging may be helpful to differentiate benign nodules from malignant thyroid nodules. The selecting measurement position is important in ARFI imaging, and it has good diagnostic value in clinical applications. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE This study shows the diagnostic contribution of ARFI imaging in thyroid lesions.
