No association between the XPD (Lys751G1n) polymorphism or the XRCC3 (Thr241Met) polymorphism and lung cancer risk.
Introduction DNA repair helps to protect the genome from tobacco-induced damage. Reduced DNA repair capacity may predispose individuals to lung cancer (1). Polymorphisms in genes encoding DNA repair proteins may modulate susceptibility to tobacco lung carcinogens. Bulky DNA adducts induced by chemical carcinogens in cigarette smoke are repaired through the nucleotide excision repair pathway tha...
متن کاملPrevention and Epidemiology No Causal Association Identified for Human Papillomavirus Infections in Lung Cancer
Human papillomavirus (HPV) infections have been implicated in lung carcinogenesis, but causal associations remain uncertain. We evaluated a potential causal role for HPV infections in lung cancer through an analysis involving serology, tumor DNA, RNA, and p16 protein expression. Association between type-specific HPV antibodies and risk of lung cancer was examined among 3,083 cases and 4,328 con...
متن کاملNo Association between Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha Gene Polymorphisms and Lung Cancer Risk
OBJECTIVES The role of genetic polymorphisms of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) for lung cancer development was evaluated. METHODS Genotypes of the TNF-α polymorphisms, -1210C>T, -487A>G, -417A>G, IVS1+123G>A, and IVS3+51A>G, were determined in 616 lung cancer cases and 616 lung cancer-free controls. RESULTS After adjusting for body mass index and smoking, each TNF-α genotype or haploty...
متن کاملFamilial outbreak of psittacosis as the first Chlamydia psittaci infection reported from Turkey.
Psittacosis, also known as parrot disease, parrot fever and ornithosis, can be transmitted to humans by inhaling dried excreta of infected birds like canaries, parakeets, parrots, pigeons and turkeys. Unless it is specifically thought of and investigated, the diagnosis of psittacosis can easily be missed and without identifying the exact etiology, the disease is usually treated as atypical pneu...
متن کاملWNT signaling – lung cancer is no exception
Since the initial discovery of the oncogenic activity of WNT ligands our understanding of the complex roles for WNT signaling pathways in lung cancers has increased substantially. In the current review, the various effects of activation and inhibition of the WNT signaling pathways are summarized in the context of lung carcinogenesis. Recent evidence regarding WNT ligand transport mechanisms, th...
