Variation in PAH‐related DNA adduct levels among non‐smokers: The role of multiple genetic polymorphisms and nucleotide excision repair phenotype
AssociationN=111Arash Etemadi et al.(2013)· International Journal of Cancer

This study examined PAH-related DNA adduct levels in 111 female never-smokers from Iran, evaluating 21 SNPs in 14 xenobiotic metabolism genes and 12 SNPs in 8 DNA repair genes. DNA adduct levels were significantly lower with NAT2 slow alleles (β=-0.24, p=0.01) and ERCC5 non-risk genotype (β=0.16, p=0.04), but higher with MPO risk alleles (β=0.21, p=0.01). The combination of phase I genes and measured NER capacity explained 17% more variation in adduct levels than environmental exposure alone (r²=0.24 vs 0.07), demonstrating the importance of genetic polymorphisms in PAH metabolism and DNA repair capacity.

Possible contribution of GSTP1 and other xenobiotic metabolizing genes to vitiligo susceptibility
AssociationN=200Mikhail M. Minashkin et al.(2013)· Archives of Dermatological Research

A candidate gene association study in 100 Russian vitiligo patients and 100 controls identified a strong novel association between GSTP1 rs1138272 (Ala114Val, OR=13.03, Bonferroni-adjusted P=0.0015) and vitiligo susceptibility. Cumulative analysis of multiple xenobiotic metabolizing genes showed that carrying higher numbers of risk alleles was associated with increased vitiligo risk (9-16 vs 3-8 alleles: OR=2.79, P=0.00063), supporting a polygenic model for vitiligo involving detoxification pathway genes.

Genetic Susceptibility to Cancer
Meta-analysisN=3,551Linda M. Dong et al.(2008)· JAMA

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 NQO1

This gene is a member of the NAD(P)H dehydrogenase (quinone) family and encodes a cytoplasmic 2-electron reductase. This FAD-binding protein forms homodimers and reduces quinones to hydroquinones. This protein's enzymatic activity prevents the one electron reduction of quinones that results in the production of radical species. Mutations in this gene have been associated with tardive dyskinesia (TD), an increased risk of hematotoxicity after exposure to benzene, and susceptibility to various forms of cancer. Altered expression of this protein has been seen in many tumors and is also associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
