“…Similarly, MTRR AA genotype had lower DNA methylation and AML transformation rate. In addition, DNA repair systems have a critical role in maintaining genome integrity and also had an impact on the risk of developing different types of cancer, as well as in their prognosis . Here, we found that OGG1 GG genotype influenced the AML transformation rate and survival of MDS patients.…”

“…On the other hand, there are also same reports in which no association was found between Arg399Gln polymorphism and multiple myeloma [25], B cell lymphoma [24], lung cancer [11], colorectal cancer in Turkish patients [9] and renal cell carcinoma in Caucasian patients [23]. In addition, there are studies indicating that the presence of Met/Met genotype for Thr241Met polymorphism is a risk factor for AML in Romanian population [26] and glioma in Chinese population [31] with contraversial reports for AML in Egyptian population [29]. However, some of the studies failed to find a significant Thr241Met polymorphism association with lung cancer in Caucasians and African-Americans [20], colorectal cancer in Polish population [28] and oral cavity cancers in Brazilian patients [27].…”

“…There are a lot of studies in the literature about DNA repair gene polymorphisms and their association with different types of cancers. However, the results are contradictory [2,7,[9][10][11][12][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Moreover, the effect of genetic polymorphisms on the risk of cancer development may vary from one population to the other due to exposed carcinogenes, and differences in genotype and allele frequencies [14].…”

“…A few environmental risk factors have been described, such as ionizing radiation, benzene, pesticides, and illicit drug use (Belson et al 2007;Eden 2010;Schnatter et al 1996); however, they can only account for a minor proportion of incident cases. The opinion that acute leukemia may have a genetic basis has long been pursued through candidate gene-based association studies, identifying genes involved in xenobiotic metabolism (Krajinovic et al 1999), DNA repair (Bȃnescu et al 2013), cell-cycle regulation , and oxidative stress response (Krajinovic et al 2002). Despite differences in the pathogenesis, AML and ALL sometimes share some genetic factors.…”
