Polymorphisms in XRCC1 Gene, Alcohol drinking, and Risk of Colorectal Cancer: a Case-control Study in Jiangsu Province of China

Abstract

To evaluate the relationship between alcohol drinking, XRCC1 codon 194 and 399 polymorphisms and risk of colorectal cancer, we conducted a case-control study with 315 colorectal cancer cases (105 colon, 210 rectal) and 439 population-based controls in Jiangsu Province of China. The XRCC1 codon 194 and 399 genotypes were identified using polymerase chain reaction and restrictrion fragment length polymorphism methods (PCR-RFLP). A structured questionnaire was used to elicit detailed information. Odds ratios (ORs) were estimated with an unconditional logistic model. In this study no significant differences were observed among the studied groups with regard to the genotype distribution of the XRCC1 codons 194 and 399 and the risk of colorectal cancer did not appear to be significantly influenced by genotype alone, whereas alcohol consumption showed a positive association (P for trend <0.01). When combined effects of XRCC1 polymorphisms and alcohol consumption were analyzed, we found that the 194Trp or 399Gln alleles further increased the colorectal cancer risk due to high alcohol intake. These findings support the conclusion that colorectal cancer susceptibility may be altered by gene-environment interactions.

Association between Polymorphisms of Interleukin-17A and Interleukin-17F Genes and Silicosis Susceptibility in Chinese Han People

“…Nowadays, A large of studies about Genetic polymorphisms (Fayaz;Gao et al, 2013;Li et al, 2013) has been reported, but in these studies, the relationship between the combined effect of different Gene loci has not been researched.To our knowledge, we have demonstrated that the relationship between combined effect of IL17A, IL17F genotypes and silicosis. And this is the first study shows that IL-17F 7488A/G polymorphism may contribute to the risk of silicosis.…”

Down-regulated MYH11 Expression Correlates with Poor Prognosis in Stage II and III Colorectal Cancer

“…Since the morbidity is rising, more and more researchers from different regions are paying close attention on colorectal cancer (Atrkar-Roushan et al, 2013;Gao et al, 2013;Heidarnia et al, 2013;Lohsiriwat et al, 2013;Madrigal-Bujaidar et al, 2013;Saeed et al, 2013). Among them, finding biomarkers for prognosis has long been a hotspot (Huang et al, 2012;Qian et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2012;Chen et al, 2013;Cui et al, 2013;Dong et al, 2013;Sisik et al, 2013;Wu et al, 2013).…”

Relationship Between the Prohibitin 3' Untranslated Region C > T Gene Polymorphism and Cancer Susceptibility - Results of a Meta-analysis

“…Cancers are the most risk diseases which threaten our health at present, and there is rare indicator for early diagnosis. Breast and ovarian cancers are the most two frequent cancers of women worldwide, and the most lethal gynecological malignancy worldwide (Yip et al, 2006;Yip & Anderson, 2007;Gao et al, 2009;Khokher et al, 2012;Zhang et al, 2012). Early diagnosis and better prognosis of breast and ovarian cancers is still a challenge, and genetic factors have established a role in pathogenesis of breast and ovarian cancers (Yip et al, 2009;Gao et al, 2012;Jeschke et al, 2012;.…”
