Abstract

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the association between xeroderma pigmentosum group C (XPC) polymorphisms and pancreatic cancer (PC) risk. A total of 7 XPC tagging SNPs (tag‑SNPs) were selected from the International HapMap Project Databases (rs2228001A/C, rs2470353G/C, rs2228000C/T, rs3731114C/G, rs3729587G/C, rs2607775C/G and rs3731055G/A) and were genotyped in 205 patients with PC and 230 non‑cancer control subjects using a SNaPshot assay. The C allelic gene frequency of rs2470353 was higher in patients with PC compared with that in the control group (P=0.003). Compared with the GG gene type, PC risk was increased in subjects with GC and GC+CC gene types (P=0.012 and P=0.006, respectively). PC risk increased 3.505‑fold for the subjects who were heavy smokers (tobacco, ≥25 packets/year) with the GC+CC gene type (P=0.008). The G allelic gene frequency of rs2607775 was higher in PC patients compared with that in the control group (P=0.003). Compared with the CC gene type, PC risk increased in subjects with CG and CG+GG gene types (P=0.013 and P=0.005, respectively). Furthermore, PC risk increased 3.950‑fold in subjects who were heavy smokers (tobacco, ≥25 packets/year) with the CG+GG gene type (P=0.001). Haplotype analysis further revealed that the CCC haplotype of rs2228000, rs3731114 and rs3729587 increased PC risk (odds ratio, 1.610; 95% confidence interval, 1.035‑2.481; P=0.034). The present study revealed that XPC gene polymorphisms could increase the risk of PC in the study population, particularly among heavy smokers.
