ABSTRACT: Background
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are universally present in nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway genes, which could make impacts on colorectal carcinogenesis and prognosis.Aim
To explore the association of all tagSNPs in NER pathway genes with colorectal cancer (CRC) risk and prognosis in a northern Chinese population by a two-stage case-control design composed of a discovery and validation stage.Methods
Genotyping for NER SNPs was performed using kompetitive allele specific PCR. In the discovery stage, 39 tagSNPs in eight genes were genotyped in 368 subjects, including 184 CRC cases and 184 individual-matched controls. In the validation stage, 13 SNPs in six genes were analyzed in a total of 1712 subjects, including 854 CRC cases and 858 CRC-free controls.Results
Two SNPs (XPA rs10817938 and XPC rs2607775) were associated with an increased CRC risk in overall and stratification analyses. Significant cumulative and interaction effects were also demonstrated in the studied SNPs on CRC risk. Another two SNPs (ERCC2 rs1052555 and ERCC5 rs2228959) were newly found to be associated with a poor overall survival of CRC patients.Conclusion
Our findings suggest novel SNPs in NER pathway genes that can be predictive for CRC risk and prognosis in a large-scale Chinese population. The present study has referential values for the identification of all-round NER-based genetic biomarkers in predicting the susceptibility and clinical outcome of CRC.
