background: the aim of this study was to understand any association between differentiated thyroid carcinoma (dtc) and ile3434thr xrcc7 gene polymorphism (genbank accession number: rs7830743). dtc is the most prevalent thyroid neoplasm, which includes papillary and follicular cell carcinoma. xrcc7 gene encodes a protein that functions in non-homologous end joining dna repair pathway. non-synony...

recent studies have provided evidence that common genetic variations could account for a proportion of leukemia in adult or children. to evaluate the contribution of candidate gene association studies to the understanding of genetic susceptibility to acute lymphoblastic leukemia we conducted a systematic review from published studies. the polymorphisms of genes encoding carcinogen-metabolizing ...

Objective: In this paper, we have introduced topoisomerase inhibitors, mechanism of action and types of them. DNA topoisomerases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze essential enzymes to solve the topological problems accompanying key nuclear processes such as DNA replication, transcription, repair and chromatin assembly by introducing temporary single or double strand breaks in the DNA. Result...

Recent crystallographic studies of DNA-repair enzymes have provided the structural basis for the recognition of damaged DNA. The results imply that flipping out of the base is a common and crucial event in DNA repair. Two classes of repair enzymes that recognize distinct types of damage may exist. DNA-repair enzymes that share similar folds and DNA binding motifs have been proposed to belong to...

objective: people are usually susceptible to carcinogenic aromatic amines, present in cigarrette smoke and polluted environment, which can cause dna damage. therefore, maintenance of genomic dna integrity is a direct result of proper function of dna repair enzymes. polymorphic diversity could affect the function of repair enzymes and thus augment the risk of different cancers. xeroderma pigment...
