Genetic Association Of Excision Repair Cross Complementation Group (Ercc Rs3212986) Polymorphism With Oscc.
Keywords:
Alleles, Oral squamous cell carcinoma, ERCC, PolymorphismAbstract
Background Introduction: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the leading cause of cancer morbidity and mortality . Despite new advances in the diagnosis and therapeutic approaches, the 5-year survival remains low. While relapse of OSCC remains a major clinical challenge, the incidence of relapse among patients varies,even for those with a similar stage of disease at diagnosis or those who undergo the same treatment . This implies that other factors, such as genetic variations, may play an important role in disease prognosis
Aim:The aim of the present study was to analyze the association between ERCC1 (rs3212986) gene polymorphism and OSCC .
Materials and Methods: A total of 100 participants were recruited for this study, which included 50 OSCC patients and 50 healthy controls. Genomic DNA was extracted from the whole blood collected from the participants. DNA was amplified using specific primers flanking the region of ERCC1 (rs3212986) gene. The amplicon was further subjected to genotyping using restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) using PvuII enzyme. The genotype obtained based on the RFLP pattern was recorded and used for statistical analysis. The distribution of genotypes and allele frequencies in the OSCC and control groups was compared using the Chi-square test.
Results: The gene frequency and allele frequency were found to be similar in both groups.
Conclusion: The present study denotes that the ERCC1 (rs3212986) polymorphism is not associated with OSCC in the study group analyzed.
