Lack of Influence of an XRCC3 Gene Polymorphism on Oral Cancer Susceptibility: Meta-analysis

Abstract: -1.11). In the stratified analysis by ethnicity, no significant associations were found among Asians and Caucasians. On stratification by tumor type, no significant associations were found for cancer and oral premalignant lesions. Conclusions: The XRCC3 gene polymorphism was not found to be associated with the risk of oral cancer. Considering the limited quality of the included case-control studies, more high quality studies with large sample size are needed to verify the above conclusion.

“…So far, there is only one meta-analysis report regarding the association of XRCC3 Thr241Met polymorphism to oral cancer risk reporting that XRCC3 Thr241Met polymorphism is irrelevant to the risk of oral cancer (26). However, the authors included upper aero-digestive cancer and leukoplakia, a common precancer lesion, in their association analysis.…”

“…The genes associated with the homologous repair system, RAD51 and XRCC3 , play a key role in maintaining genomic stability by means of facilitating a homology search and catalyzing the invasion of single‐stranded tails into the DNA double helix of a homologous chromatid (Li et al, ). These genes have been shown to play a critical role in maintaining chromosomal integrity and protecting against carcinogenic factors in many types of cancer, but the exact function of RAD51 and XRCC3 in the progression of oral and oropharyngeal SCC is not yet fully understood (Gresner et al, ; Khlifi et al, ; Zhang, Cui, et al, ). Studies on allelic variants of these genes are of great importance, as they are responsible for correcting damaged nucleotides generated by exposure to carcinogens, which is necessary to maintain correct cellular functions and homeostasis (Dos Reis et al, ; Kumar et al, ; Nowacka‐Zawisza et al, ).…”
