Aim: To investigate the risk association of xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XPC) Lys939Gln polymorphism alone and in combination with cigarette smoking on colorectal cancer (CRC) predisposition.
Methods: Peripheral blood samples of 510 study subjects (255 CRC patients, 255 controls)were collected. DNA was extracted and genotyping was performed using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The association between polymorphic genotype and CRC predisposition was determined using the OR and 95%CI.
Results: The frequency of the homozygous variant (Gln/Gln) genotype was significantly higher in cases compared with controls (16.0% vs 10.2%, P = 0.049). The Gln/Gln genotype of XPC showed a significantly higher association with the risk of CRC (OR = 1.884; 95%CI: 1.082-3.277; P = 0.025). In the case of allele frequencies, variant allele C was associated with a significantly increased risk of CRC (OR = 1.375; 95%CI: 1.050-1.802; P = 0.020). Moreover, the risk was markedly higher for those who were carriers of the Gln/Gln variant genotype and were also cigarette smokers (OR = 3.409; 95%CI: 1.061-10.949; P = 0.032).
Conclusion: The XPC Gln/Gln genotype alone and in combination with smoking increases the risk of CRC among Malaysians.

Article Synopsis
- Human Excision Repair Cross-Complementation Group 2 (ERCC2) proteins are crucial for the nucleotide excision repair pathway, and polymorphisms in the ERCC2 gene are linked to cancer susceptibility, though previous findings were inconsistent.
- This study aimed to explore the connection between specific ERCC2 genetic polymorphisms at codons 312 and 751 and the risk and aggressiveness of bladder cancer in Bangladeshi patients.
- Results indicated that individuals with certain ERCC2 polymorphisms, particularly Gln/Gln at codon 751 and Asp/Asn at codon 312, had a significantly higher risk of developing bladder cancer, especially among those with a family history of the disease.
XRCC1 and XPD polymorphisms: clinical outcomes and risk of prostate cancer in Bangladeshi population.

Article Synopsis
- Prostate cancer diagnosis in Bangladesh is low due to lack of awareness and screening, causing high mortality rates, leading researchers to evaluate specific genetic markers for risk assessment.
- The study analyzed 132 prostate cancer patients and 135 healthy controls, finding that the XRCC1 Trp/Trp genotype is linked to an increased risk of prostate cancer, while no significant risk was associated with the XPD variant.
- The results indicate that XRCC1 could serve as a potential biomarker for early prostate cancer diagnosis, highlighting the need for improved screening methods in Bangladesh.

Background: Given that obesity and insulin resistance play key roles in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the connection between leptin and these metabolic diseases, the association between NAFLD and a leptin receptor gene (LEPR) polymorphism was examined.
Methods: In this genetic case-control association study, 144 biopsy-proven NAFLD patients and 144 controls were genotyped for the LEPR gene Gln223Arg (rs1137101) polymorphism using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method.
Results: The distributions of genotypes and alleles of Gln223Arg variant were in accordance with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in the study groups (P > .

Introduction: The relevance of the research of the article is conditioned upon the problem of the development of molecular genetic diagnostics to determine the effectiveness of treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children. The purpose of the article is to identify the polymorphism parameters of the P53 Arg72Pro and XRCC1 Arg399Gln genes in acute lymphoblastic leukemia with criteria for determining the survival rates of sick children.
Materials And Methods: Methods for the study of the identified problem are the study of the medical histories of children with acute leukemia, which allowed selection of the necessary contingent of patients for further genetic study of their frozen blood, where the genomic part of deoxyribonucleic acid was isolated from the frozen blood in a standard way using molecular biological research when performing a polymerase chain reaction.
