Background:
The study aims to evaluate the contribution of excision repair cross-complementing group 1 (ERCC1), which plays an important role in genome integrity maintenance, to lung cancer risk.
Materials And Methods:
ERCC1 rs11615 and rs3212986 genotypes were identified by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and their association with lung cancer risk was examined among 358 lung cancer patients and 716 controls.
Results:
The proportions of CC, CT and TT for the rs11615 genotype were 43.6%, 41.6% and 14.8% in the case group and 50.0%, 41.1% and 8.9% in the control group, respectively (p for trend=0.0082). Allelic analysis showed that ERCC1 rs11615 T-allele carriers have a 1.32-fold higher risk of lung cancer than wild-type C-allele carriers [95%confidence interval (CI)=1.09-1.60, p=0.0039]. In addition, a significant interaction between the rs11615 genotype and smoking status was observed.
Conclusion:
The T allele of ERCC1 rs11615 jointly with smoking habits may contribute to a higher lung cancer risk in Taiwan.

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...
