CYP2A6 genetic polymorphism and its relation to risk of smoking dependence in male Iranians
Introduction: Nicotine is the psychoactive substance responsible for establishing and maintaining smoking dependence. CYP2A6 is the primary enzyme that inactivates nicotine to cotinine .Genetic variation in CYP2A6 accounts for some of the inter-individual variability in nicotine metabolism and has been indicated to influence smoking behavior and dependence. Therefore, the aim of this study was ...
متن کاملNo 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 کاملGenetic polymorphism in ERCC5 and breast cancer risk
ERCC5 plays crucial role in excision repair DNA damage induced by UV in NER pathway. Single neuleotide polymorphism in ERCC5 were responsible for different cancers.Therefore, current study evaluated the relationship between ERCC5 (rs1047768 T>C) polymorphism and the risk of breast cancer in Pakistani population. The rs1047768 polymorphism was screened among 175 female...

متن کاملXRCC3 Thr241Met Polymorphism is not Associated with Lung Cancer Risk in a Romanian Population
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) repair mechanisms play a critical role in protecting the cellular genome against carcinogens. X-ray cross-complementing gene 3 (XRCC3) is involved in DNA repair and therefore certain genetic polymorphisms that occur in DNA repair genes may affect the ability to repair DNA defects and may represent a risk factor in carcinogenesis. The purpose of ou...
