Abstract

The aim of the current study was to investigate the role of polymorphisms in DNA repair pathways on the clinical outcome of gastric cancer patients treated with platinum‑based chemotherapy. A total of 380 gastric cancer patients treated with platinum‑based chemotherapy were included in the present study. The genotypes of ERCC1 rs11615 (Asn118Asn) and rs3212986 (*197G>T), ERCC2 rs1799793 (Asn312Asp) and rs13181 (Lys751Gln), NBN rs1805794 (Gln185Gln) and rs1063054 (*1209A>C), RAD51 rs1801321 (‑61G>T) and rs12593359 (*502T>G), and XRCC3 rs861539 (Thr241Met) were determined by polymerase chain reaction‑restriction fragment length polymorphism, according to the manufacturer's instructions. The TC+CC genotypes of ERCC1 rs11615 and GA+AA genotypes of ERCC2 rs1799793 were found to be associated with improved response to chemotherapy, with an adjusted odds ratio of 1.66 (95% CI, 1.07‑2.56) and 1.61 (95% CI, 1.05‑2.49), respectively. Based on the results of Cox analysis, patients with TC+CC genotypes of ERCC1 rs11615 and GA+AA genotypes of ERCC2 rs1799793 exhibited a significantly decreased risk of mortality, with hazard ratios of 1.71 (95% CI, 1.06‑2.72) and 1.97 (95% CI, 1.28‑3.03), respectively. In conclusion, these results suggest that ERCC1 rs11615 and ERCC2 rs1799793 in the DNA repair pathways may be used as predictive factors of the clinical outcome in gastric cancer patients.
