Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within X-Ray Repair Cross Complementary Group 2 (XRCC2) gene and additional gene- abdominal obesity (AO) interaction with endometrial carcinoma (EC) risk.
Methods: Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was tested for all participants by using SNPstats (online software: http://bioinfo.iconcologia.net/SNPstats). The best SNP-SNP and gene-AO interaction combination among three SNPs within XRCC2 gene and AO was screened using generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR).
Results: We employed the logistic regression analysis showed that rs718282-T allele is associated with increased EC risk, adjusted ORs (95%CI) were 1.67 (1.23-2.04). However, we did not find statistical association between rs3218536, and rs3218384 and EC susceptibility. GMDR analysis was used for SNP-SNP- and gene-abdominal obesity analysis. The cross-validation consistency and the testing accuracy for the interaction were calculated. The two-locus model between rs718282 and AO had a testing accuracy of 60.11%, which was significant at the < .001 level, and this two- locus model was considered as the best model. It provided statistical evidence for rs718282 gene-AO interaction effects. The results indicated that AO influenced the EC risk depending on the rs718282 genotypes. Compared with non- AO subjects with rs718282-CC genotype, AO subjects with rs718282-CT or TT genotype had the highest EC risk, OR (95%CI) was 2.83 (1.67 - 4.02), after covariates adjustment.
Conclusions: Both the rs718282- T allele, and its interaction with AO were associated with increased EC risk.

Background: Systemic chemotherapy constitutes an indispensable component of breast cancer (BC) management, where therapeutic drug combinations such as anthracyclines, platinum compounds, and taxanes form the cornerstone of standard treatment protocols. Although DNA repair genes are pivotal in cancer susceptibility, their specific roles in mediating acute or chronic toxicity outcomes induced by chemotherapy remain undetermined. Consequently, this study was planned to elucidate the impact of polymorphisms in base excision repair (BER) genes, including XRCC1, XRCC2, XRCC3, APE1, and hOGG1, on treatment response and toxicity outcomes in BC patients undergoing paclitaxel and doxorubicin-based chemotherapy within an Indian population.

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.

Chronic inflammation has been associated with the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR), and the levels of various inflammatory factors are significantly increased in intraocular fluids of patients with AMD and DR. Therefore, elucidating the roles of inflammatory factors in the oxidative damage of RPE cells will help uncover the pathogenesis of AMD and DR. We have previously demonstrated that E2F1 plays an important role in the antioxidant capacity of RPE cells.

The study of RAD51 regulators in female reproductive diseases has novel biomarker potential and implications for therapeutic advancement. Regulators of RAD51 play important roles in maintaining genome integrity and variations in these genes have been identified in female reproductive diseases including primary ovarian insufficiency (POI), endometriosis, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). RAD51 modulators change RAD51 activity in homologous recombination, replication stress, and template switching pathways.
