Aim Of Study:
The relationship between X-ray cross-complementing group 3 (XRCC3) Thr241Met gene polymorphism and osteosarcoma risk and its development and prognosis is still debated. This meta-analysis was performed to assess these associations.
Materials And Methods:
The association studies were identified from PubMed, and eligible reports were included and calculated using meta-analysis method.
Results:
Interestingly, all the included studies were from Asian population. The meta-analysis indicated that XRCC3 Thr241Met gene polymorphism was associated with osteosarcoma risk (T allele: Odds ratio [OR] =1.57, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.25-1.98, P = 0.0001; TT genotype: OR = 2.23, 95% CI: 1.40-3.57, P = 0.0008; CC genotype: OR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.54-0.87, P = 0.002). However, XRCC3 Thr241Met CC genotype was not associated with Enneking stage, tumor location, and tumor metastasis.
Conclusion:
XRCC3 Thr241Met gene polymorphism was associated with osteosarcoma risk, but XRCC3 Thr241Met CC genotype was not associated with Enneking stage, tumor location, and tumor metastasis.

Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...
