Comprehensive analysis of the correlation between base-excision repair gene SNPs and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma risk in a Chinese Han population.

ABSTRACT: This study sought to assess the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) affecting DNA base-excision repair (BER) genes and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) risk in a Han Chinese population. Genes screened for such SNPs included 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase (OGG1), apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1) and X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 protein (XRCC1). Blood samples that had been collected in a prospective manner were used for DNA extraction, with all DNA samples then being subjected to PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism genotyping for BER gene SNPs, including APE1 Asp148Glu and -141T/G, OGG1 Ser326Cys, and XRCC1 Arg399Gln. The relationship between these SNPs and ESCC risk was then assessed, with the comparability of the case and contr
