Objective: To investigate the association between ERCC6 gene polymorphisms and peripheral blood lymphocyte DNA damage among the workers in coking plant.
Methods: By cluster sampling, 379 coke oven workers having worked for 8 hours were included in the exposure group, 398 coke oven workers having rested for more than 16 hours were included in the recovery group, and 398 workers having never been exposed to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the same plant were included in the control group. Lymphocytes were separated from their peripheral venous blood, and single cell gel electrophoresis was used to evaluate DNA damage; TaqMan-MGB probes were used to analyze ERCC6 gene polymorphisms. PHASE 2.0.2 genetic analysis software was used to calculate the haplotypes.
Results: The Olive tail moment (OTM) of lymphocytes in the exposure group was significantly higher than those in the recovery group and control group (-0.86±0.70 vs -1.14±0.68 and -1.13±0.65, P < 0.05). In the exposure group, for workers ≥37 years old, the OTM of lymphocytes in workers carrying CG+GG genotype at rs3793784 locus of ERCC6 gene was significantly lower than that in workers carrying CC genotype (P < 0.05); the OTM of lymphocytes in workers <37years old carrying CC genotype at rs3793784 locus of ERCC6 gene was significantly lower than that in workers ≥37 years old carrying CC genotype (P < 0.05); the OTMof lymphocytes in workers <37 years old carrying CG+GG genotype at rs3793784 locus of ERCC6 gene was significantly higher than that in workers ≥37 years old carrying CG+GG genotype (P < 0.05). For patients with internal exposure, in the 1-hydroxypyrene >4.36 ümol/L group, the OTM of lymphocytes in workers carrying AG+GG genotype was significantly higher than that in workers carrying AA genotype (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: Different genotypes of ERCC6 gene rs3793784 in peripheral blood lymphocytes of coke oven workers exposed to PAHs have different functions at different ages, suggesting that genotype may interact with age in population exposed to PAHs.

Department of Hematology, Tongde Hospital of Zhejiang Province, Hangzhou, Zhejiang 310012, P.R. China.
Article Synopsis
- A 44-year-old male patient developed three different cancers: non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), early T cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ETP-ALL), and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) over several years, showcasing a rare case of metachronous tumors.
- The use of next-generation sequencing was pivotal in diagnosing the patient's conditions and identifying germline mutations that contributed to his cancers.
- The study emphasizes the need for monitoring germline mutations in patients and families to improve early detection, treatment options, and understanding of cancer prognosis.

Article Synopsis
- Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) and primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) significantly contribute to female infertility, with a recent study finding a genetic cause in 29.3% of POI cases.
- A prospective study of 120 patients with unexplained DOR revealed a 24.2% diagnostic yield using advanced sequencing technology to identify genes related to various biological pathways.
- Findings indicated that impaired oocyte quality is linked to meiosis/DNA repair genes, and the study supports the need for genetic testing as a routine part of infertility diagnosis and a potential predictor for progression to POI.
STK19 drives transcription-coupled repair by stimulating repair complex stability, RNA Pol II ubiquitylation, and TFIIH recruitment.

Transcription-coupled nucleotide excision repair (TC-NER) efficiently eliminates DNA damage that impedes gene transcription by RNA polymerase II (RNA Pol II). TC-NER is initiated by the recognition of lesion-stalled RNA Pol II by CSB, which recruits the CRL4 ubiquitin ligase and UVSSA. RNA Pol II ubiquitylation at RPB1-K1268 by CRL4 serves as a critical TC-NER checkpoint, governing RNA Pol II stability and initiating DNA damage excision by TFIIH recruitment.

Background: Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare, multisystem, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by cachectic dwarfism, nervous system abnormalities, and premature aging. Mutations in the ERCC6 and ERCC8 genes are the predominant causes of Cockayne syndrome, with ERCC6 gene mutations present in approximately 75% of cases.
Methods: Trio-based whole-exome sequencing (trio-WES) was employed to identify potential pathogenic variants associated with CS.
