Objectives: Previous reports indicated that XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphism might be a possible risk factor for several cancers. Published studies on the association of XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphisms with glioma risk have yielded controversial results. The present study aimed to derive a more precise estimation of the relationship.
Methodology: Meta-analyses assessing the association of XRCC1 Arg280His variation with glioma were conducted and subgroup analyses on ethnicity and source of controls were further performed. Eligible studies for the period up to May 2012 were identified.
Results: A total of four case-control studies comprising 1439 cases and 2564 controls were selected for analysis. The overall data indicated no significant association of XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphism with glioma risk (His vs Arg: OR=1.05; 95%CI=0.88-1.25; His/His vs Arg/Arg: OR=1.42; 95%CI=0.87-2.29; dominant model: OR=1.00; 95%CI=0.82-1.22; recessive model: OR=1.41; 95%CI=0.88-2.25). Likewise, in the subgroup analysis regarding ethnicity and source of controls, no associations were observed.
Conclusion: The results of the present study failed to suggest an association of XRCC1 Arg280His polymorphism with glioma risk. Further large and well-designed studies are needed to confirm this conclusion.

Fishing communities living near gold mining areas are at increased risk of mercury (Hg) exposure via bioaccumulation of methylmercury (MeHg) in fish. This exposure has been linked to health effects that may be triggered by genotoxic events. Genetic polymorphisms play a role in the risk associated with Hg exposure.

XRCC1 is involved in repair of single-strand breaks generated by mutagenic exposure. Polymorphisms within XRCC1 affect its ability to efficiently repair DNA damage. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or PAHs are genotoxic compounds which form bulky DNA adducts that are linked with infertility.

The response to radiation therapy (RT) is closely associated with DNA damage repair. X-ray repair cross-complementing group-1 (XRCC1) is a key gene in the DNA damage repair pathway, and SNPs in this gene alter the expression and activity of its effector protein, which may in turn affect sensitivity to RT. Therefore, the course of tumor treatment and local control rate can be influenced.

Background: At present very little information is available on combined effects of DNA repair genes with tumor suppressor gene polymorphisms and their association with cancer susceptibility. No such association studies have been carried out with breast cancer or any other cancer from India. Present study was conducted to study the combined effects of SNPs of XRCC1, XRCC2, XRCC3 with Arg72Pro and Arg249Ser SNPs of TP53 gene in risk of BC in rural parts of India.

The genetic background of each person might affect the severity of radiotherapy (RT)-induced normal tissue toxicity. The aim of study was to evaluate the influence of TGFB1 C-509T and Leu10Pro, XRCC1 Arg280His and XRCC3 Thr241Met polymorphisms as well as the level of radiation-induced CD8 T-lymphocyte apoptosis (RILA) on adverse effects of RT for prostate cancer (PCa). The study included 88 patients with localized or locally advanced PCa who were treated with RT.
