The genotype frequency distributions of three common <i>XRCC1</i> SNPs (Arg194Trp, Arg399Gln, Arg280His) were compared to those with DTC (<i>n</i> = 228), benign thyroid nodules (BTN, <i>n</i> = 100) and healthy controls (<i>n</i> = 93) in terms of certain pre defined risk factors such as the presence of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, smoking, obesity, a family history of thyroid cancer and radiation exposure. The frequency of the GA genotype of Arg280His in DTC cases was found to be higher than in those with BTN and the healthy control group (<i>p</i> <0.001). The DTC group had the lowest frequency of AA genotype of Arg280His (35.5%, <i>p</i> <0.001). Among those with a family history of thyroid cancer, 78.9% had a GA genotype and 21.1% had the AA genotype of Arg280His (<i>p</i> = 0.004). The Arg280His GA genotype was more common in DTC than in cancer-free controls. The GA genotype frequency was also high in DTC cases with a family history of thyroid cancer.</p>","PeriodicalId":55403,"journal":{"name":"Balkan Journal of Medical Genetics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2021-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/ff/c2/bjmg-24-073.PMC8366467.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39356108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
