Associations between ERCC2 polymorphisms and gliomas.
Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group D/excision repair cross-complementing in rodents 2 (ERCC2) encodes a protein that is part of the nucleotide excision repair pathway and the transcription factor IIH transcription complex. Mutations in this gene have been shown to cause three distinct clinical diseases including xeroderma pigmentosum, Cockayne syndrome, and trichothiodystrophy. Several...
متن کاملInterethnic variability in human drug responses.
The scientific study of interethnic differences in responses to drugs has been extant for 80 years. Many of these differences have been described at the phenotypic level, and some have been explained by genetic factors. However, it is frequently difficult to disentangle accurately the hereditary and environmental influences in phenotypic comparisons. This is where the recent developments in kno...
متن کاملInterethnic variability of plasma paraoxonase (PON1) activity towards organophosphates and PON1 polymorphisms among Asian populations--a short review.
Organophosphate (OP) poisoning is a progressively worrying phenomenon as worldwide pesticide production and consumption has doubled. On average, WHO estimates that 3% of agricultural workers in developing Asian countries suffer an episode of pesticide poisoning every year. Furthermore, the threat of OP usage in terrorism is existent, as seen by the subway tragedy in Tokyo in 1995 where sarin wa...
متن کاملERCC2 /XPD gene polymorphisms and lung cancer: a HuGE review.
The xeroderma pigmentosum group D (XPD) protein is a well-characterized DNA helicase necessary for the nucleotide excision repair of bulky DNA lesions, such as those induced by cigarette smoking. Polymorphisms in several exons of the XPD gene have been identified; two of them, Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln, are common and result in an amino acid change. Most of the reported data indicate higher level...
متن کاملInterethnic variability and admixture in Latin America--social implications.
Past and present attempts to classify and characterize the human biological variability are examined, considering the race concept, ethnic identification problems, assortative mating based on ethnicity, and historical genetics. In relation to the latter, a review is made of the methods presently available for admixture quantification and of previous studies aimed at the characterization of the ...
