Abstract

The xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group G (XPG) gene plays an important role in the DNA nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. Several studies have investigated the association between the XPG Asp1104His polymorphism and breast cancer; however, the results have been inconsistent. therefore, we conducted a meta‑analysis of 8 published articles (10 case‑control studies) including a total of 5,235 patients with breast cancer and 5,685 healthy controls. The results demonstrated that the XPG Asp1104His polymorphism was not associated with breast cancer in the overall population [His vs. Asp, odds ratio (OR)=1.00, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.91‑1.08; His/His vs. Asp/Asp, OR=0.96, 95% CI: 0.83‑1.11; Asp/His vs. Asp/Asp, OR=1.02, 95% CI: 0.94‑1.11; His/His+Asp/His vs. Asp/Asp, OR=1.03, 95% CI: 0.92‑1.15; and His/His vs. Asp/Asp+Asp/His, OR=0.93, 95% CI: 0.81‑1.06]. In the subgroup analysis by ethnicity, no significant association was observed in European subjects. In conclusion, this meta‑analysis suggested that the XPG Asp1104His polymorphism is not associated with breast cancer risk.
