Abstract:
Repair genes may play critical roles in the relationships between environmental exposure and health outcomes. However, no evidence is available about the effect of repair gene polymorphisms on the relationship between bisphenol A (BPA) exposure and liver abnormality. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of nine genotyped polymorphisms in three repair genes, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase family member 4 (PARP4), X-ray repair cross complementing 3 (XRCC3), and RAD51 recombinase (RAD51), on the relationship between BPA exposure and liver abnormality using repeated measures data for an elderly population. A significant association between BPA levels and liver abnormality was found only in elders with the PARP4 G-C-G haplotype, XRCC3 G-A-G haplotype, or RAD51 T-A-A haplotype (odds ratio (OR) = 2.16 and p = 0.0014 for PARP4; OR = 1.57 and p = 0.0249 for XRCC3; OR = 1.43 and p = 0.0422 for RAD51). Particularly, PARP4 and XRCC3 showed significant interactions with BPA exposure in relation to liver abnormality (p < 0.05 for both genes). These results indicate that PARP4, XRCC3, and RAD51 gene polymorphisms have modification effects on the relationship between BPA exposure and liver abnormality.

Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
