Genetic variations in base excision repair pathway genes and risk of hepatoblastoma: a seven-center case-control study.

ABSTRACT: Hepatoblastoma is a rare childhood liver cancer without known explicit etiology. Base excision repair (BER) pathway genes have been implicated in the pathophysiology of cancer, yet the role of BER pathway gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on hepatoblastoma risk still awaits to be explored. This study aims to determine whether hepatoblastoma risk be modulated by polymorphisms in the BER pathway genes based on genotyped data from 313 cases and 1446 controls. We applied TaqMan assay to genotype these included samples. We comprehensively genotyped 20 SNPs across six genes of BER, and estimated odds ratio (ORs), 95% confidence intervals (CIs), and P-values of the selected SNPs' contribution to the risk of hepatoblastoma using logistic regression models. Only SNP rs293795 in the hOGG1 gene could significantly enhance hepatoblastoma risk under recessive model (adjusted OR=3.78, 95% CI=1.01-14.17, P=0.047). Stratified analysis revealed that rs159153 TC/CC genotype decreased hepatoblastoma risk in male subgroup. Moreover, rs293795 GG and 1-3 risk genotypes could increase hepatoblastoma risk in clinical stages I+II and male subgroups, respectively. False-positive report probability validated the reliability of the significant results. Our findings provide some clues of a potential risk effect of BER pathway gene hOGG1 SNPs on hepatoblastoma. Further investigation is warranted to confirm these findings and to better elucidate the biological pathways involved.

Project description:BackgroundLast few years, several studies all over the world revealed the association of DNA repair genes with risk of developing different type of cancers, but were ambiguous to support the evidences in case of cervical cancer risk. These differences in earlier studies directed us to study the association of polymorphisms of BER genes (XRCC1, hOGG1, XPC) and NER genes (XPC, XPD) with cervical cancer susceptibility in the women of rural population of Maharashtra.Materials and methodsThe genetic polymorphism in BER and NER pathway genes was studied by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method using DNA isolated from intravenous blood samples of patients and normal controls. The study included 400 clinically confirmed cervical cancer patients and 400 healthy women from a tertiary care hospital (Krishna Hospital and Medical Research Centre) of south-western Maharashtra. The association of polymorphisms was confirmed by Odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval.ResultsThe single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of BER genes including XRCC1, hOGG1 and APE1 were analyzed and the results were noted that 27466AA (OR=4.88; 95% CI: 3.61- 6.60; p<0.0001) and 28152AA (OR=2.89; 95% CI: 1.57- 5.31; p=0.0005) genotypes of XRCC1 (rs25489, rs25487) were significantly associated with cervical cancer risk. The 1245GG genotype of hOGG1 (rs1052133) (OR=45.30; 95% CI: 3.76- 7.46; p=0.001) also showed significant correlation, whereas 2197GG genotype of APE1 (rs1130409) gene showed negative association with cervical carcinogenesis (OR=0.59; 95% CI: 0.35- 0.97; p=0.005). Similarly when we studied SNPs of NER genes including XPC and XPD genes, 21151TT genotype of XPC (rs 2228000) was positively associated with cervical cancer development and 23591AA genotype of XPD (rs1799793) showed negative association (OR=0.34; 95% CI: 0.17- 0.64; p=0.001).ConclusionThe findings from this study supported that rs25489, rs25487SNPs of XRCC1, rs1052133 of hOGG1 and rs2228000 of XPC may increase cervical cancer risk, whereas rs1130409 SNP of APE1 and rs1799793 SNP of XPD gene lower the risk of cervical cancer in the studied population.
