Association study between XPG Asp1104His polymorphism and colorectal cancer risk in a Chinese population.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have reported that the Asp1104His polymorphism in Xeroderma Pigmentosum complementation group G (XPG) was associated with the susceptibility to colorectal cancer (CRC), although the results were inconsistent. This study was aim to investigate whether there existed an association between XPG Asp1104His polymorphism and CRC risk in the Chinese population, and a further meta-analysis was performed to consolidate the results. We found that XPG Asp1104His polymorphism was associated with a significantly increased CRC risk (dominant model: His/His + Asp/His vs. Asp/Asp, adjusted OR = 1.39, 95% CI = 1.14-1.69). Stratification analysis by clinical characteristics indicated that the His/His + Asp/His genotypes were associated with increased CRC susceptibility in patients with moder
