A systematic review and meta-analysis of 161 published meta-analyses evaluating 344 gene-variant/cancer associations across 99 genes and 18 cancer sites. The authors calculated false-positive report probability (FPRP) values to evaluate the robustness of statistically significant findings (p<0.05). The most noteworthy associations at very low prior probability were GSTM1 null with bladder cancer (OR: 1.5, p=1.9×10-14), NAT2 slow acetylator with bladder cancer (OR: 1.46, p=2.5×10-7), MTHFR C677T with gastric cancer (OR: 1.52, p=4.9×10-8), and GSTM1 null with acute leukemia (OR: 1.20, p=8.6×10-15). Phase II metabolizing enzymes, particularly GSTM1 deletion, showed the most consistent and highly significant associations with cancer risk.
About NEIL3
NEIL3 belongs to a class of DNA glycosylases homologous to the bacterial Fpg/Nei family. These glycosylases initiate the first step in base excision repair by cleaving bases damaged by reactive oxygen species and introducing a DNA strand break via the associated lyase reaction (Bandaru et al., 2002 [PubMed 12509226]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
