ABSTRACT: Background
The nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway participates in platinum-induced DNA damage repair. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in miRNA-binding sites in the NER genes RPA2 and GTF2H1 are associated with the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). Here, we analyzed whether RPA2 and GTF2H1 SNPs predict the efficacy of oxaliplatin in metastatic CRC (mCRC) patients.Patients and methods
Genomic DNA was extracted from blood samples from 457 patients with mCRC enrolled in the TRIBE trial, which compared first-line FOLFOXIRI plus bevacizumab (BEV) (n = 230, discovery cohort) and first-line FOLFIRI plus BEV (n = 227, control cohort). SNPs were analyzed by PCR-based direct sequencing.Results
