Association between x-ray repair cross-complementing group 3 (XRCC3) genetic polymorphisms and papillary thyroid cancer susceptibility in a Chinese Han population

Abstract: Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is a predominant type of thyroid cancer. Ionizing radiation is the only well-established risk factor and may result in double-strand breaks. The x-ray repair cross-complementing group 3 (XRCC3) gene plays a vital role in DNA repair through homologous recombination. We aimed at investigating the association between XRCC3 genetic polymorphisms and PTC susceptibility. Eighty-three PTC patients and 367 controls in a Chinese population were enrolled in the study.

“…In line with our results, several studies provided evidence that there was no significant association between the XRCC2-rs3218536 polymorphism and thyroid cancer [20,21]. Similarly, meta-analyses showed that there was no significant association between SNP of rs3218536 and risk of breast cancer under any genetic models [6,41]. However, the rs3218536 polymorphism could be a genetic adjuster for ovarian and colorectal cancer patients [42,43].…”

“…As suggested by earlier studies, polymorphisms of these genes are related to thyroid cancer risk [6,[20][21][22][23][24]. However, no conclusive result has been reported due to the conflicting findings among different studies.…”

“…The product of XRCC3 is a RAD51 paralog necessary for the binding and stabilization of the latter during DNA repair. In our study, the increased risk of rs861539 polymorphism in thyroid cancer is comparable to previous results reporting significant associations with thyroid cancer risk [36-40]. Nevertheless, many studies have found no evident correlation between XRCC3 polymorphisms and thyroid cancer [41, 42].…”
