چکیده

To assess whether DNA repair gene variants influence the clinical behaviour of lung cancer we examined the impact of a comprehensive panel of 109 non-synonymous single-nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) in 50 DNA repair genes on overall survival (OS) in 700 lung cancer patients. Fifteen nsSNPs were associated with OS, significantly greater than that expected (P = 0.04). SNPs associated with prognosis mapped primarily to two repair pathways--nucleotide excision repair (NER): ERCC5 D1104H (P = 0.004); ERCC6 G399D (P = 0.023), ERCC6 Q1413R (P = 0.025), POLE (P = 0.014) and base excision repair: APEX1 D148E (P = 0.028); EXO1 E670G (P = 0.007); POLB P242R (P = 0.018). An increasing number of variant alleles in EXO1 was associated with a poorer prognosis [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.24; P = 0.0009]. A role for variation in NER and BRCA2/FA pathway genes as determinants of OS was provided by an analysis restricted to the 456 patients treated with platinum-based agents. Our data indicate that the pathway-based approach has the potential to generate prognostic markers of clinical outcome.

SHOX2 and WT1 Promoter Methylation Correlates with the Lung Cancer in Iranian Patients

Lung cancer is among the most common cause of cancer death in the world. Since the disease is diagnosed in the middle or late stages of the cancer development a more efficient method for an early diagnosis of the disease is required. The main goal of this study was to investigate the correlation between aberrant promoter methylation of the two genes: SHOX2(Short stature homeobox 2) and WT1(Wilm...

Inherent radiosensitivity and its impact on breast cancer chemo-radiotherapy

About 10% of apparently normal individuals are sensitive to clastogenic effects of physico-chemical agents. More than 45% of breast cancer patients’ exhibit elevated radiosensitivity. Although the nature of inherent radiosensitivity is not fully understood, but insufficiency and impaired DNA repair mechanism might be prime cause of radiosensitivity. This is evident from genetically affect...

Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC)/Lynch Syndrome: Surveillance and Diagnostic strategies

Introduction: Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC, Lynch syndrome) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease. The disease is caused by a mutation in one of four genes of the DNA mismatch repair system and increases the risk for various cancers, especially the uterine and colon cancers. The prevalence of this disease in the general population is about 1 in 500 and it causes about 2-3...

Association between Polymorphisms of X-ray Repair Cross Complementing 5 and 6 Promoter Genes and the Risk of Metastatic Breast Cancer

Background and Objective: Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in women. Better individualized treatment needs novel prognostic predictors. X-ray repair cross complementing XRCC5 and XRCC6 are coding genes of the Ku protein complex (key components of the non-homologous end-joining [NHEJ] pathway), which could serve as prognostic factors in breast cancer. Hence, in t...
