Case-control study of 1,150 bladder cancer cases and 1,149 controls analyzing 43 SNPs in 12 base excision repair (BER) genes. Significant associations with bladder cancer risk were found for OGG1 rs125701 (OR=0.78, 95% CI 0.63-0.96, decreased risk), PARP1 rs1136410/V762A (OR=1.24, 95% CI 1.02-1.51, increased risk), and POLB rs3136717 (OR=1.30, 95% CI 1.04-1.62, increased risk). Meta-analysis of XRCC1 rs25487 (Q399R) across 7 studies showed no overall association with bladder cancer risk.
About LIG3
This gene is a member of the DNA ligase family. Each member of this family encodes a protein that catalyzes the joining of DNA ends but they each have a distinct role in DNA metabolism. The protein encoded by this gene is involved in excision repair and is located in both the mitochondria and nucleus, with translation initiation from the upstream start codon allowing for transport to the mitochondria and translation initiation from a downstream start codon allowing for transport to the nucleus. Additionally, alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
