Background: Numerous data have shown that progressive loss of human trabecular meshwork (TM) cells may be connected with oxidative stress. This hypothesis may suggest an association of base excision repair with the risk of primary open angle glaucoma development.
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the 399Arg/Gln XRCC1, the 194 Arg/Trp XRCC1, the 326SerCys OGG1, and the 324Gln/His MUTYH gene polymorphisms with clinical parameters and the risk for development of POAG.
Methods: Our research included 170 patients with POAG and 193 healthy controls. Gene polymorphisms were investigated by PCR-RFLP. The Heidelberg Retinal Tomography (HRT) clinical parameters were also analyzed.
Results: The 399Arg/Gln genotype of the XRCC1 gene was associated with an increased risk for POAG (OR 2.50; 95% CI, 1.54-4.07, P=0.0002). The 399Gln/Gln XRCC1 genotype may increase the risk for POAG progression according to clinical parameters such as cup/disk ratio (c/d) (OR 1.93; 95% CI, 1-3.73, P=0.04) and Rim area (RA factor) (OR 3.88; 95% CI, 1.01-14.82, P=0.04). Moreover, an association was found of retinal nerve-fiber layer (RNFL factor) with the 399Arg/Gln XRCC1 genotype distribution and POAG progression (OR 2.46; 95% CI, 1.06-5.68, P=0.03). In contrast, analysis of the 324Gln/His MUTYH gene polymorphism distribution in the patient group according to RA factor showed that it may reduce the progression of POAG (OR 0.14; 95% CI, 0.02-0.89, P=0.05). Our current study demonstrates an association between the 326Ser/Cys OGG1 gene polymorphism and the 326Cys allele of the OGG1 gene, and progression of POAG. In addition, the presence of the 326His allele of the MUTYH gene may increase the risk for POAG progression, according to the VF parameter (OR 2.57; 95% CI, 1.47-4.57, P=0.0001).
Conclusion: We suggest that the 399Arg/Gln genotype and the 399Gln allele of the XRCC1 gene may be risk factors for POAG development. Moreover, we postulate that the 399 Arg/Gln XRCC1, the 326 Ser/Cys OGG1 and the 324 Gln/His MUTYH genes polymorphisms may be associated with progression of POAG.

Background: Colorectal cancers (CRCs) from people with biallelic germline likely pathogenic/pathogenic variants in MUTYH or NTHL1 exhibit specific single base substitution (SBS) mutational signatures, namely combined SBS18 and SBS36 (SBS18+SBS36), and SBS30, respectively. The aim was to determine if adenomas from biallelic cases demonstrated these mutational signatures at diagnostic levels.
Methods: Whole-exome sequencing of FFPE tissue and matched blood-derived DNA was performed on 9 adenomas and 15 CRCs from 13 biallelic MUTYH cases, on 7 adenomas and 2 CRCs from 5 biallelic NTHL1 cases and on 27 adenomas and 26 CRCs from 46 non-hereditary (sporadic) participants.

Purpose: Hereditary cancer syndromes (HCS) explain 5%-10% of all cancer cases. Patients with more than one germline pathogenic variant (GPV) result in a clinical syndrome known as multilocus inherited neoplasia allele syndrome (MINAS). In recent years, an increasing number of MINAS cases have been reported.

Assessments of breast cancer (BC) risk in carriers of pathogenic variants identified by gene panel testing in different populations are highly in demand worldwide. We performed target sequencing of 78 genes involved in DNA repair in 860 females with BC and 520 age- and family history-matched controls from Central Russia. Among BC patients, 562/860 (65.

Purpose: To identify candidate susceptibility genes for dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP).
Methods: All individuals with DFSP from the International Sarcoma Kindred Study ( = 3767 individuals with sarcoma diagnoses from Australia, Europe, New Zealand, and United States) and cohorts that were not ascertained based on sarcoma status or other phenotypes (Geisinger MyCode, = 170,503 individuals, United States; UK Biobank, = 469,789 individuals, United Kingdom) were evaluated for germline pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants in 156 cancer genes.
Results: There were 92 unrelated individuals with DFSP across the 3 cohorts.
