XRCC1 polymorphisms may alter the individual’s capacity to repair DNA damages and may increase the risk for developing different types of cancer, including Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL). The purpose of our study was to investigate the association between XRCC1 Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln polymorphisms and risk of NHL, in a case-control study consisted of 81 patients with NHL and 113 healthy controls. The polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) methods were performed to determine the XRCC1 genotypes. A statistically significant association was observed between the XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism and risk of NHL (p < 0.0001, OR = 7.01, 95% CI = 2.488-19.753) in both male and female. We found no association between NHL and control groups with respect to XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism (p = 0.4867, OR = 1.346, 95% CI = 0.5822-3.111). Also, we did not find differences between the XRCC1 polymorphisms and NHL risk taking into account the IPI score, ECOG performance status, Ann Arbor stage and the treatment outcome (p > 0.05, for all comparisons). Our results suggested an increased risk for NHL regarding the XRCC1 Arg194Trp polymorphism in a Romania population, while XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphism is not associated with NHL. Further work is needed to validate these results on a larger sample study.

Background: Emerging evidence has indicated possible efficacy benefit of platinum-based chemotherapy as neoadjuvant treatment for invasive ductal carcinoma triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, it has not been endorsed by current guidelines due to highly controversial results.
Materials And Methods: Present study aims to investigate predictive and prognostic roles concerning single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in XRCC1 and BRCA1, BRCA2 genes for early stage TNBC patients that received platinum-based neoadjuvant treatment.

Objective: This study aimed to explore genetic variations associated with DNA repair mechanisms to enhance the management of both oral cancer (OC) and oral precancer (OPC).
Methods: A cohort of 380 patients diagnosed with OC and OPC, comprising 220 males and 160 females, was analyzed. Participants were categorized based on their tobacco-chewing habits, with corresponding control groups established.

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.

Background And Aim: Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer presents a significant worldwide health burden, influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. This study endeavors to explore the combined effects of the , , , and genes that contribute to the heightened risk of GI cancer, shedding light on their combined influence on cancer susceptibility.
Materials And Methods: A total of 200 histologically confirmed cases of GI cancer and an equal number of controls were selected to examine genetic polymorphisms within the , , , and genes using the polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common and fatal primary liver cancer. Genetic variants of DNA repair systems can reduce DNA repair capability and increase HCC risk. This study aimed to examine, in Egyptian hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients, the relationship between the X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) rs1799782 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and HCC susceptibility.
