Polymorphisms in the nuclear excision repair gene ERCC2/XPD and susceptibility to cutaneous basal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Studies have investigated the relationship between XPD Lys751Gln and Asp312Asn genetic variants and risk of cutaneous basal cell carcinoma (BCC). However, the results remain inconclusive. We performed a meta-analysis, using a comprehensive strategy based on the allele model and a model-free approach, to investigate the association of between XPD Lys751Gln and Asp312Asn polymorphisms with BCC risk. For XPD Lys751Gln, no significant BCC risk was found in the allele model (OR = 0.97, 95% CI 0.90-1.04, I (2) = 35.3%, P heterogeneity = 0.125) and with model-free approach (ORG = 0.95, 95% CI 0.87-1.04, I (2) = 15.9%, P heterogeneity = 0.296). For XPD Asp312Asn, there was also no association between this polymorphism and BCC risk in the allele model (OR = 0.94, 95% CI 0.86-1.03, I (2) = 0, P hete
