This paper lists the genotype frequencies of 50 polymorphisms of 37 genes (ALDH2, ADRB2, ADRB3, COMT, CD36, CXCR2, CCND1, COX2, CYP2A6, CYP17, CYP19, IGF1, IL-1A, IL-1B, IL-1RN, IL-1R1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, LEP, Le, L-myc, MPO, MTR, MTHFR, MAO-A, NQO1, OGG1, p53, p73, Se, SRD5A2, TGF-B, TNF-A, TNF-B, XPD, and XRCC1) and 6 sets of combined genotype frequencies for 241 non-cancer Japanese outpatients. Though the genotype frequencies of 25 polymorphisms have already been reported in our previous papers, 15 polymorphisms (CD36 A52C, CXCR2 C785T, CCND1 G870A, IGF1 C/T at intron 2 and G2502T, IL-1A 46-bp VNTR, IL-1R1 C-116T, IL-6 Ins/Del 17C, IL-8 A-278T and C74T, IL- 10 T-819C, LEP A-2548G, SRD5A2 2-bp VNTR, XPD Lys751Gln, and XRCC1 Arg399Gln) and six sets of combined genotype frequencies (IL-1B C-31T and IL-1A C-889T, IL-1B C-31T and IL-1RN 86-bp VNTR, IL-1B C-31T and IL-1R1 C-116T, TNF-A G-308A and TNF-B A252G, SRD5A2 Val89Leu and 2-bp VNTR, and XRCC1 Arg399Gln and XPD Lys751Gln) were reported in this paper for the first time for Japanese. Although microarray technology will produce this kind of information in near future, this is the first document that reports the genotype/allele frequencies among Japanese for an archival purpose.

Polymorphisms in several DNA repair genes have been described. These polymorphisms may affect DNA repair capacity and modulate cancer susceptibility by means of gene-environment interactions. We investigated DNA repair capacity and its association with acute myeloblastic leukemia (AML). We studied polymorphisms in 3 DNA repair genes: XRCC1, XRCC3, and XPD. We also assessed the incidence of a functional polymorphism in the NQO1 gene, which is involved in protection of cells from oxidative damage. We genotyped the polymorphisms by using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment-length polymorphism analysis in 134 patients with de novo AML, 34 with therapy-related AML (t-AML), and 178 controls. The distributions of the XRCC3 Thr241Met and NQO1 Pro187Ser genotypes were not significantly different in patients and controls. However, the distribution of the XRCC1 Arg399Gln genotypes was significantly different when comparing the t-AML and control groups (chi(2), P =.03). The presence of at least one XRCC1 399Gln allele indicated a protective effect for the allele in controls compared with patients with t-AML (odds ratio 0.44; 95% confidence interval, 0.20-0.93). We found no interactions between the XRCC1 or XRCC3 and NQO1 genotypes. We also found no differences in the distribution of the XPD Lys751Gln or XRCC1 Arg194Trp genotypes. Our data provide evidence of a protective effect against AML in individuals with at least one copy of the variant XRCC1 399Gln allele compared with those homozygous for the common allele.

Allele frequencies are rather constant among different ethnic groups in many genetic polymorphisms, but some polymorphisms vary in the allele frequency depending on the time when the germ-line base exchanges occurred in the history of humans and on the adaptability of the phenotypes to given environment. This review documented the allele frequencies of polymorphisms pertaining to cancer risk for Japanese, Koreans, and Chinese. Twenty-five polymorphisms of 21 genes whose allele frequencies were available for at least two out of the three ethnic groups were selected. They were ALDH2 Glu487Lys, COMT Val158Met, CYP1A1 MspI and Val/Ile, CYP1B1 Leu432Val, CYP2E1 RsaI, CYP17 T-34C, ER C975G, GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1 Ile105Val, IL-1B C-511T, IL-1RN 86-bp VNTR (variable number of tandem repeats), MTHFR C677T and A1298C, NAT1, NAT2, NQO1 Pro187Ser, OGG1 Ser326Cys, p21 Ser31Arg, p53 Arg72Pro, TNF-A G-308A and G-238A, and XRCC1 Arg194Trp and Arg399Gln. The allele frequencies were found for 24 in Japanese, 16 in Koreans, and 24 in Chinese. All of the polymorphisms had similar allele frequencies for these ethnic groups, except the following polymorphisms; ALDH2 Glu487Lys whose Lys allele was more common for Japanese and Taiwanese, COMT Val158Met whose Met allele was more common for Japanese, and NAT2 rapid/slow whose slow alleles were more common for Chinese. When compared with the allele frequencies among Caucasians, the following minor alleles were more frequent among Japanese/Koreans/Chinese; ALDH2 478Lys, CYP1A1 m1 and m2, CYP2E1 c2, ER 975G, GSTT1 null, NAT1 *10, NQO1 187Ser, OGG1 326Cys, p21 31Arg, and XRCC1 194Trp, and less frequent in COMT 158Met, GST-P1 105Val, IL-1RN non-4R, MTHFR 1298C, and TNF-A -308A. The differences in genetic background may affect the impact on the lifestyle factors and/or genotypes examined in epidemiological studies. However, the influences of the variations in the allele frequency seemed to be limited among Japanese, Koreans, and Chinese. The substantial differences in the allele frequency from Caucasians could modify the influences of lifestyle factors and polymorphism genotypes, resulting in the inconsistent results of epidemiologic studies.

We present an oligonucleotide microarray ("MetaboChip") based on the arrayed primer extension (APEX) technique, allowing genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes of interest for cancer susceptibility and pharmacogenetics. APEX consists of a sequencing reaction primed by an oligonucleotide anchored with its 5' end to a glass slide and terminating one nucleotide before the polymorphic site. The extension with one fluorescently labeled dideoxynucleotide complementary to the template reveals the polymorphism. Ninety-three SNPs in 42 genes were selected among those resequenced in the context of the SNP500 project, using a set of 102 reference DNA samples from the Coriell Biorepository. Selected SNPs belong to the following genes: ADH1B, ALDH2, APEX, CDKN2A, COMT, CYP1A1, CYP1A2, CYP1B1, CYP2A6, CYP2C19, CYP2C9, CYP2E1, CYP3A4, DRD2, DRD4, EPHX1, ERCC1, ERCC2, ERCC4, ERCC5, GRPR, GSTA4, GSTM3, GSTP1, GSTT2, LIG3, MDM2, MGMT, MPO, NAT1, NAT2, NQO1, OGG1, PCNA, POLB, SLC6A3, SOD2, TP53, XRCC1, XRCC2, XRCC3, and XRCC9. We assessed the performance of APEX by comparing the results obtained with MetaboChip against those reported by the SNP500. Among 88 SNPs that yielded signals, 6 showed less than 99% of concordance, whereas 82 performed accurately, showing that APEX is a reliable and sensitive genotyping method.

While hereditary disease genes have a high lifelong cumulative incidence rate (penetrance), the penetrance for polymorphism genotypes is not high. Polymorphisms relating to cancer incidence are classified into 1. carcinogen metabolizing enzymes (CYPs, GSTs, NQO1, etc.), 2. DNA repair enzymes (OGG1, XRCC1, XPD, etc.), 3. DNA synthesis and methylation (MTHFR, MS, etc.), 4. cytokines and inflammation-related enzymes (IL-1B, TNF-A, MPO, etc.), and 5. sex hormone metabolizing enzymes and the receptors (CYP19, SRD5A2, ER, etc.). Since genotypes cannot be manipulated, they are not the factors subject to prevention. However, the finding that the strength of association between lifestyle and disease occurrence is influenced by genotypes (gene-environment interaction), opens the door to genotype applications for disease prevention practice.

Lack of functional telomeres can cause chromosomal aberrations. This type of genetic instability may promote tumorigenesis. We have investigated the association between mean telomere length in buccal cells (assessed with quantitative real-time PCR) and bladder cancer risk in a case-control study. Patients with bladder cancer displayed significantly shorter telomeres than control subjects (P = 0.001). Median telomere length ratio was 0.95 (range 0.53-3.2) for cases and 1.1 (0.51-2.4) for controls. Moreover, the adjusted odds ratio (OR) for bladder cancer was significantly increased in the quartile with the shortest telomere length OR = 4.5 [95% confidence interval (CI) 1.7-12]. It is known that oxidative stress, alkylation or UV radiation increases shortening of telomeres. Therefore, we also analyzed whether environmental and genetic factors associated with DNA damage, i.e. smoking and polymorphisms in the genes involved in the metabolism of genotoxic carcinogens (EPHX1, GSTA1, GSTM1, GSTP1, GSTT1, NAT1, NAT2 and NQO1) or DNA repair (APE1, NBS1, XPC, XPD, XRCC1, XRCC3 and XRCC4), could modify the association between telomere length and cancer risk. A clear effect of smoking and telomere length could be observed. Current smokers with short telomeres had more than six times as higher risk as non-smokers/former smokers with long telomeres (OR = 6.3, 95% CI 1.7-23). Lack of the biotransformation gene GSTM1 and short telomeres were associated with OR = 6.5 (95% CI 2.4-18), whereas homozygous carriers of 312Asn in the DNA repair gene XPD, with short telomeres, displayed an OR of 17 (95% CI 1.9-150). However, no significant interaction for cancer risk could be proven for telomere length, smoking and susceptibility genotypes of metabolizing and DNA-repairing genes.

We studied the effects of polymorphisms in nine genes involved in DNA repair and detoxification on occurrence and type of p53 mutation in 327 bladder cancer patients. The included polymorphisms are XPC(Lys939Gln), XPD(Lys751Gln), XPG(Asp1104His), XRCC1(Arg3999Gln), XRCC3(Thr241Met), NBS1(Glu185Gln), cyclin D1(Pro241Pro), MTHFR(Ala222Val and Glu429Ala) and NQO1(Arg139Trp and Pro187Ser). We found increased risk for p53 mutation among cyclin D1 variant allele homozygotes (OR 2.4 CI 0.8-6.7). Among non-smokers, 75% (3/4) with p53 mutation but only 12.5% (3/24) without p53 mutations were XRCC3 241Met homozygotes (P=0.03). Among smokers, all p53 transversions (3/3), but only 41.7% (5/12) of p53 transitions were found among carriers of the XPC 939Gln allele. Individuals carrying the NQO1 187Ser allele showed increased risk for p53 transversions (OR 4.7, CI 0.9-26.1). All (2/2) NQO1 139Trp allele carriers but only 17.5% (7/40) of the Arg139 homozygotes had p53 transversions. Our findings suggest that altered repair and detoxification due to genetic polymorphism may influence the occurrence of p53 mutations in bladder cancer.

Exposure to benzene can cause DNA damage and the subsequent development of cancer. In this study, study subjects were 31 laboratory workers at a petrochemical factory and 31 gasoline service attendants. Control subjects were 34 workers from a mail sorting service center. Occupational exposures to benzene were assessed using biomarkers of exposure in blood and urine. Induction of DNA-repair capacity was assessed as a biomarker of early effect. The effects of polymorphisms in a metabolizing gene (CYP2E1), in detoxification genes (NQO1 and GSTT1), and in a DNA-repair gene (XRCC1, codon 399) on biomarker levels were evaluated. The mean individual benzene exposure of laboratory workers (24.40+/-5.82 ppb) and that of gasoline service attendants (112.41+/-13.92 ppb) were significantly higher than in controls (1.39+/-0.17 ppb, p<0.001). Blood benzene levels of laboratory workers (169.12+/-30.60 ppt) and gasoline service attendants (483.46+/-59.62 ppt) were significantly higher than those of the controls (43.30+/-4.89 ppt, p<0.001). Trans,trans-muconic acid levels in post-shift urine samples collected from laboratory workers (0.14+/-0.02 mg/g creatinine) and gasoline service attendants (0.20+/-0.02 mg/g creatinine) were significantly higher than in urine samples of controls (0.04+/-0.01 mg/g creatinine, p<0.001). The level of benzene exposure was correlated with blood benzene levels (R2=0.65, p<0.01) and post-shift urinary trans,trans-muconic acid concentrations (R2=0.49, p<0.01). As a biomarker of early effect, DNA-repair capacity was assessed by use of the cytogenetic challenge assay, i.e., chromosomal aberrations in peripheral lymphocytes were assessed after challenging blood cultures with 1 Gy gamma radiation. A significantly lower DNA-repair capacity--determined as dicentrics in laboratory workers (0.17 per metaphase cell) and in gasoline service attendants (0.19 per metaphase cell) compared with controls (0.12 per metaphase cell, p<0.001)--was observed. The frequency of deletions in laboratory workers (0.22 per metaphase cell) and gasoline service attendants (0.39 per metaphase cell) were significantly higher than in control workers (0.16 per metaphase cell, p<0.01 and p<0.001, respectively). An increase in radiation-induced dicentrics and deletions indicate a lower DNA-repair capacity in benzene-exposed workers. The influence of genetic polymorphisms on the biomarkers was assessed. Benzene-exposed workers who carried CYP2E1*1/*5 or *5/*5 genotypes excreted slightly higher levels of trans,trans-muconic acid than workers who carried the CYP2E1*1/*1 genotype. In this study, NQO1 and GSTT1 genotypes did not have any effect on the levels of trans,trans-muconic acid. In the case of XRCC1, laboratory workers with 399Arg/Gln or Gln/Gln had a lower DNA-repair capacity--measured as radiation-induced frequency of dicentrics and deletions--than those with the 399Arg/Arg genotype (p<0.01). Our results show that biomarkers of internal dose and early biological effect in people occupationally exposed to benzene are influenced by genetic polymorphisms in susceptibility genes.

Benzene is a leukemogen, and exposure to benzene is an occupational hazard in the petroleum refining industries. The effects of genetic polymorphisms in the NQO1 (rs1800566), MPO (rs2333227), and XRCC1 (rs25487) genes on benzene-induced chromosome abnormalities were assessed in 108 benzene-exposed workers and 33 office workers. The mean benzene exposure for exposed workers was 0.51 ppm for full-shift workers, and the time-weighted average ranged from 0.004 to 4.25 ppm. The frequencies of micronuclei (MN) and chromosome aberrations (CA) were significantly higher in workers exposed to benzene than unexposed controls. Exposed workers with the T/T genotype for NQO1 showed significant 1.9-fold (95% CI = 1.5-2.3) and 2.6-fold (95% CI = 1.7-3.9) increases in MN and CA frequencies, respectively, compared to controls with C/C and C/T genotypes, after adjusting for age, smoking status, and alcohol intake. Among exposed workers, subjects with the combination of MPO G/G and XRCC1 Arg/Gln or Gln/Gln showed a significantly higher CA frequency compared to those with the combination of MPO G/A or A/A and XRCC1 Arg/Arg genotypes. These results indicated that the genotoxicity induced by a chronic benzene exposure is modulated by genes involved in both DNA repair and benzene metabolic pathways.

Tobacco smoking, alcohol drinking, and occupational exposures to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are the major proven risk factors for human head and neck squamous-cell cancer (HNSCC). Major research focus on gene-environment interactions concerning HNSCC has been on genes encoding enzymes of metabolism for tobacco smoke constituents and repair enzymes. To investigate the role of genetically determined individual predispositions in enzymes of xenobiotic metabolism and in repair enzymes under the exogenous risk factor tobacco smoke in the carcinogenesis of HNSCC, we conducted a case-control study on 312 cases and 300 noncancer controls. We focused on the impact of 22 sequence variations in CYP1A1, CYP1B1, CYP2E1, ERCC2/XPD, GSTM1, GSTP1, GSTT1, NAT2, NQO1, and XRCC1. To assess relevant main and interactive effects of polymorphic genes on the susceptibility to HNSCC we used statistical models such as logic regression and a Bayesian version of logic regression. In subgroup analysis of nonsmokers, main effects in ERCC2 (Lys751Gln) C/C genotype and combined ERCC2 (Arg156Arg) C/A and A/A genotypes were predominant. When stratifying for smokers, the data revealed main effects on combined CYP1B1 (Leu432Val) C/G and G/G genotypes, followed by CYP1B1 (Leu432Val) G/G genotype and CYP2E1 (-70G>T) G/T genotype. When fitting logistic regression models including relevant main effects and interactions in smokers, we found relevant associations of CYP1B1 (Leu432Val) C/G genotype and CYP2E1 (-70G>T) G/T genotype (OR, 10.84; 95% CI, 1.64-71.53) as well as CYP1B1 (Leu432Val) G/G genotype and GSTM1 null/null genotype (OR, 11.79; 95% CI, 2.18-63.77) with HNSCC. The findings underline the relevance of genotypes of polymorphic CYP1B1 combined with exposures to tobacco smoke.
