Polymorphisms in RAD51, XRCC2, and XRCC3 are not related to breast cancer risk.
Highly penetrant, but rare, mutations in genes involved in double-strand break repair (i.e., BRCA1 and BRCA2) are associated with a risk for breast cancer of 40% to 65% by age 70 years (1, 2). Polymorphisms in other double-strand break repair genes are thought to contribute to the risk for the disease, either independently or through modifying the risk associated with rare mutations. This study...
متن کاملPolymorphisms of Homologous Recombination RAD51, RAD51B, XRCC2, and XRCC3 Genes and the Risk of Prostate Cancer
Genetic polymorphisms in DNA repair genes may induce individual variations in DNA repair capacity, which may in turn contribute to the risk of cancer developing. Homologous recombination repair (HRR) plays a critical role in maintaining chromosomal integrity and protecting against carcinogenic factors. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between prostate cancer risk an...
متن کاملXRCC2 and XRCC3 polymorphisms are not associated with risk of colorectal adenoma.
The XRCC2 and XRCC3 proteins participate in homologous recombination and DNA double-strand break repair to maintain chromosomal stability. Coding-region variants in XRCC2 (Arg188His) and XRCC3 (Thr241Met) have been associated with cancers at several sites (1-3). The XRCC3 241Met homozygous variant has also been associated with increased DNA adduct levels, suggesting a role for this protein in r...
متن کاملCorrelation between selected XRCC2, XRCC3 and RAD51 gene polymorphisms and primary breast cancer in women in Pakistan.
Genetic polymorphisms in homologous recombination repair genes cause an abnormal development of cancerous cells. In the present study we evaluated the possibility of breast cancer association with single nucleotide polymorphisms of RAD51, XRCC2 and XRCC3 genes. Polymorphisms selected in this study were RAD51 135G/C, XRCC2 Arg188His; and XRCC3 Thr241Met. Each polymorphism was genotyped using Pol...
متن کاملGenetic variations in XRCC2 and XRCC3 are not associated with endometrial cancer risk.
Introduction Endometrial cancer is a component of hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal carcinoma, primarily the consequence of mutations in genes involved in mismatch repair (MMR; MSH2, MLH1, PMS1, and PMS2). In addition to the repair of DNA replication errors, MMR genes have been implicated in homologous recombination repair (HRR) in yeast and in mammalian cells (1, 2). The involvement of the MM...
