Genetic variability of DNA repair mechanisms influences treatment outcome of gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT: The aim of the current study was to investigate the role of polymorphisms in DNA repair pathways on the clinical outcome of gastric cancer patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy. A total of 380 gastric cancer patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy were included in the present study. The genotypes of ERCC1 rs11615 (Asn118Asn) and rs3212986 (*197G>T), ERCC2 rs1799793 (Asn312Asp) and rs13181 (Lys751Gln), NBN rs1805794 (Gln185Gln) and rs1063054 (*1209A>C), RAD51 rs1801321 (-61G>T) and rs12593359 (*502T>G), and XRCC3 rs861539 (Thr241Met) were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism, according to the manufacturer's instructions. The TC+CC genotypes of ERCC1 rs11615 and GA+AA genotypes of ERCC2 rs1799793 were found to be associated with improved response to chemotherapy, with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.66 (95% CI, 1.07-2.56) and 1.61 (95% CI, 1.05-2.49), respectively. Based on the results of Cox analysis, patients with TC+CC genotypes of ERCC1 rs11615 and GA+AA genotypes of ERCC2 rs1799793 exhibited a significantly decreased risk of mortality, with hazard ratios of 1.71 (95% CI, 1.06-2.72) and 1.97 (95% CI, 1.28-3.03), respectively. In conclusion, these results suggest that ERCC1 rs11615 and ERCC2 rs1799793 in the DNA repair pathways may be used as predictive factors of the clinical outcome in gastric cancer patients.

Project description:Heart rate variability (HRV) is the variation of cardiac inter-beat intervals over time resulting largely from the interplay between the sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system. Individual differences in HRV are associated with emotion regulation, personality, psychopathology, cardiovascular health, and mortality. Previous studies have shown significant heritability of HRV measures. Here we extend genetic research on HRV by investigating sex differences in genetic underpinnings of HRV, the degree of genetic overlap among different measurement domains of HRV, and phenotypic and genetic relationships between HRV and the resting heart rate (HR). We performed electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings in a large population-representative sample of young adult twins (n=1060 individuals) and computed HRV measures from three domains: time, frequency, and nonlinear dynamics. Genetic and environmental influences on HRV measures were estimated using linear structural equation modeling of twin data. The results showed that variability of HRV and HR measures can be accounted for by additive genetic and non-shared environmental influences (AE model), with no evidence for significant shared environmental effects. Heritability estimates ranged from 47 to 64%, with little difference across HRV measurement domains. Genetic influences did not differ between genders for most variables except the square root of the mean squared differences between successive R-R intervals (RMSSD, higher heritability in males) and the ratio of low to high frequency power (LF/HF, distinct genetic factors operating in males and females). The results indicate high phenotypic and especially genetic correlations between HRV measures from different domains, suggesting that >90% of genetic influences are shared across measures. Finally, about 40% of genetic variance in HRV was shared with HR. In conclusion, both HR and HRV measures are highly heritable traits in the general population of young adults, with high degree of genetic overlap across different measurement domains.
