“…Genetic polymorphisms in XRCC1 gene (such as Arginine (Arg)194 Tryptophan (Trp), Arg280 Histidine (His) and Arg399 Glutanine (Gln) ) have been reported to be potential influence on the altered risk of glioma (Kiuru et al, 2008;Liu et al, 2009;Rajaraman et al, 2010;Yosunkaya et al, 2010;Hu et al, 2011;Zhou , 2011;Liu et al, 2012;Sun et al, 2012;Jiang et al, 2013;Luo et al, 2013;Pan et al, 2013;Wei et al, 2013). However, the results from these observations were conflicting rather than conclusive (Wang et al, 2004;Felini et al, 2007;Kiuru et al, 2008;Liu et al, 2009;Rajaraman et al, 2010;Yosunkaya et al, 2010;Hu et al, 2011;Melin, 2011;Zhou et al, 2011;Jacobs et al, 2012;Liu et al, 2012;Sun et al, 2012;Wang et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2012;Jiang et al, 2013;Luo et al, 2013;Pan et al, 2013;Wei et al, 2013). Up to date, no related studies about the potential association between the c.1471G>A genetic polymorphism of XRCC1 gene and the risk of glioma have not been analyzed in any population.…”
