This cross-sectional study of 288 coke oven workers examined gene-environment interactions between FEN1 rs174538 polymorphism and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure, measured by urinary 1-OH-pyrene levels, on DNA damage in EGFR gene exons 19 and 21. The study found significant linear associations between PAH exposure and EGFR exon damage (P trend < 0.001 for both exons), which were modified by FEN1 rs174538 genotype—the associations were significant only in GA+AA carriers (P < 0.001) but not in GG carriers, suggesting genetic susceptibility influences PAH-induced DNA damage.
About VTI1A
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the family of soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein-attachment protein receptors (SNAREs) that function in intracellular trafficking. This family member is involved in vesicular transport between endosomes and the trans-Golgi network. It is a vesicle-associated SNARE (v-SNARE) that interacts with target membrane SNAREs (t-SNAREs). Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with binocular function, and also with susceptibility to colorectal and lung cancers. A recurrent rearrangement has been found between this gene and the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene in colorectal cancers. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
