Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how genetic variations in the RAD51 gene might influence the risk of developing esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
- 316 ESCC patients and 316 healthy controls in China were analyzed for three specific single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using advanced genetic testing methods.
- Results indicated that while individual SNPs didn't show a significant link to ESCC risk, the CGG haplotype derived from these SNPs was associated with an increased risk of the disease.
Background And Objective: Mutations in DNA repair system are related to carcinogenesis. This study was to evaluate the correlations of polymorphisms and haplotypes of XPD gene with individual susceptibility to gastric cancer.
Methods: Genomic DNA were extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes of 207 gastric cancer patients and 212 healthy controls.
