Tobacco, Genetic susceptibility and Lung cancer
Exposure to tobacco smoke is an established risk factor for lung cancer, although a possible role for genetic susceptibility in the development of lung cancer has been inferred from familial clustering of the disease and segregation analysis. Findings of familial aggregation and statistical evidence for a major susceptibility gene have led to the search for high penetrant, rare, single genes an...
متن کاملGenetic susceptibility to lung cancer.
Lung cancer is a highly environmental disease, but cancer researchers have long been interested in investigating genetic susceptibility to lung cancer. This paper is a historical review and provides updated perspectives on lung cancer susceptibility research. The recent introduction of easier genotyping methods and the availability of an almost complete human genome database facilitated the ass...
متن کاملRe: environmental tobacco smoke, genetic susceptibility, and risk of lung cancer in never-smoking women.
BACKGROUND Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is considered to be a major lung cancer risk factor for never smokers. We investigated the hypothesis that never-smoking women who are exposed to ETS and develop lung cancer are a genetically susceptible population. METHODS Archival tumor tissues were analyzed from 106 never-smoking women enrolled in a case-control study of ETS (and oth...
متن کاملCorrelation between survivin genetic polymorphisms and lung cancer susceptibility.
AIMS The purpose of the study was to analyze the relationship of survivin polymorphisms including -31G/C, -625G/C, 9194A/G and 9809T/C with the susceptibility to lung cancer. METHODS Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was used to test the polymorphisms of -31G/C, -625G/C, 9194A/G and 9809T/C in 104 patients with lung cancer and 104 healthy controls. ...
