Description

Frequency of minor allele Arg399Gln XRCC1 gene and homozygous carriers of this allele in patients with thyroid cancer, who were exposed to ionizing radiation due to Chornobyl disaster was significantly higher than in patients without exposure to ionizing radiation in anamnesis (0.57 and 0.37, p = 0.006 and 34.21 % and 7.81 %, p = 0.001, respectively). Comparing to the literature data on XRCC1 Arg399Gln polymorphisms in radiation-exposed individuals without cancer pathology, the risk of thyroid cancer in homozygous minor allele XRCC1 Gln399Gln carriers, who were exposed to ionizing radiation was significantly increased: OR = 4.14, p = 0.001 (CI95 % 1.72-9.93).The carrying of homozygous minor allele Gln399Gln of DNA repair gene XRCC1 is a risk factor for thyroid cancer under the influence of ionizing radiation in research group of Ukrainian population
