Genetic variability in DNA repair and cell cycle control pathway genes and risk of smoking‐related lung cancer
AssociationN=1,651Shama C. Buch et al.(2012)· Molecular Carcinogenesis

This case-control study of 722 lung cancer cases and 929 controls examined 240 SNPs in DNA repair and cell cycle control pathway genes among smokers. Thirty-eight SNPs were associated with lung cancer risk at P<0.05, with strongest associations in GTF2H4 (rs2074508), LIG1 (rs10500298), PARP1 (rs747658, rs3219073), and XRCC1 (rs1799782, rs3213255). A genetic risk score combining 31 SNPs showed 3.44-fold increased risk in the highest versus lowest quartile.

About PARP1

This gene encodes a chromatin-associated enzyme, poly(ADP-ribosyl)transferase, which modifies various nuclear proteins by poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation. The modification is dependent on DNA and is involved in the regulation of various important cellular processes such as differentiation, proliferation, and tumor transformation and also in the regulation of the molecular events involved in the recovery of cell from DNA damage. In addition, this enzyme may be the site of mutation in Fanconi anemia, and may participate in the pathophysiology of type I diabetes. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
