Association of Polymorphisms in DNA Repair Gene XRCC3 with Asthma in Taiwan.

ABSTRACT: AIM:Accumulating evidence suggests that DNA damage and repair play a role in asthma etiology, however, little is known about the contribution of genotypes of DNA repair genes to asthma susceptibility. This study aimed to examine the contribution of genotypes of DNA double-strand break repair gene X-ray repair cross complementing protein 3 (XRCC3) and its polymorphisms to asthma risk in the Taiwanese. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Associations of seven XRCC3 genotypes, namely rs1799794, rs45603942, rs861530, rs3212057, rs1799796, rs861539 and rs28903081, with the risk of asthma were investigated among 198 patients with asthma and 453 non-asthma controls by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism genotyping methodology. RESULTS:Unlike Caucasian populations, no polymorphic genotypes at XRCC3 rs3212057 or rs28903081 were found among the Taiwanese. For the genotypes of XRCC3 rs1799794, rs45603942, rs861530, rs1799796 and rs861539, the percentages of hetero-and homo-variant genotypes were not differentially represented between the asthma patient and the non-asthma control groups. In addition, there was no differential distribution of allelic frequencies for these XRCC3 polymorphic sites between the two groups. No interaction of these genotypes with gender or age were found. CONCLUSION:Although XRCC3 plays a role in asthma etiology, the variant XRCC3 genotypes do not serve as practicable predictive markers for asthma risk in Taiwanese.

Project description:BackgroundPolymorphisms in DNA repair genes have been associated to repair DNA lesions, and might contribute to the individual susceptibility to develop different types of cancer. Nucleotide excision repair (NER), base excision repair (BER), and double-strand break repair (DSBR) are the main DNA repair pathways. We investigated the relationship between polymorphisms in two NER genes, XPC (poly (AT) insertion/deletion: PAT-/+) and XPD (Asp312Asn and Lys751Gln), the BER gene XRCC1 (Arg399Gln), and the DSBR gene XRCC3 (Thr241Met) and the risk of developing lung cancer.MethodsA hospital-based case-control study was designed with 516 lung cancer patients and 533 control subjects, matched on ethnicity, age, and gender. Genotypes were determined by PCR-RFLP and the results were analysed using multivariate unconditional logistic regression, adjusting for age, gender and pack-years.ResultsBorderline association was found for XPC and XPD NER genes polymorphisms, while no association was observed for polymorphisms in BER and DSBR genes. XPC PAT+/+ genotype was associated with no statistically significant increased risk among ever smokers (OR = 1.40; 95%CI = 0.94-2.08), squamous cell carcinoma (OR = 1.44; 95%CI = 0.85-2.44), and adenocarcinoma (OR = 1.72; 95%CI = 0.97-3.04). XPD variant genotypes (312Asn/Asn and 751Gln/Gln) presented a not statistically significant risk of developing lung cancer (OR = 1.52; 95%CI = 0.91-2.51; OR = 1.38; 95%CI = 0.85-2.25, respectively), especially among ever smokers (OR = 1.58; 95%CI = 0.96-2.60), heavy smokers (OR = 2.07; 95%CI = 0.74-5.75), and adenocarcinoma (OR = 1.88; 95%CI = 0.97-3.63). On the other hand, individuals homozygous for the XRCC1 399Gln allele presented no risk of developing lung cancer (OR = 0.87; 95%CI = 0.57-1.31) except for individuals carriers of 399Gln/Gln genotype and without family history of cancer (OR = 0.57; 95%CI = 0.33-0.98) and no association was found between XRCC3 Thr241Met polymorphism and lung cancer risk (OR = 0.92; 95%CI = 0.56-1.50), except for the 241Met/Met genotype and squamous cell carcinoma risk (OR = 0.47; 95%CI = 0.23-1.00).ConclusionIn conclusion, we analysed the association between XPC, XPD, XRCC1, and XRCC3 polymorphisms and the individual susceptibility to develop lung cancer in the Spanish population, specifically with a highly tobacco exposed population. We attempt to contribute to the discovery of which biomarkers of DNA repair capacity are useful for screening this high-risk population for primary preventing and early detection of lung cancer.
