Human oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (hOGG1) is a DNA repair enzyme, which plays important roles in the base excision (BER) pathway. Several studies reported common polymorphism Ser326Cys (rs1052133) hOGG1, conferred susceptibility of bladder cancer. We hypothesized that associated with risk cancer Chinese population. In case-control study 1050 histologically confirmed patients and 1404 age sex matched healthy controls, we genotyped hOGG1 using TaqMan technology assessed its association risk....

Genetic variations in a PTEN/AKT/mTOR signaling axis may influence cellular functions including cell growth, proliferation and apoptosis, then increase the individual's risk of cancer. Accordingly, we explore association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) these genes prostate cancer (PCa) our Chinese population.Subjects were recruited from 666 PCa patients 708 cancer-free controls, eight SNPs determined by TaqMan assay. Odds ratios (OR) 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) evaluated...

Background Recent large-scale transcriptome analyses have found large numbers of transcripts, including that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are aberrant in various diseases, especially cancers. However, it is not clear whether lncRNAs involved specifically renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We investigated the expression patterns five RCC tumor samples (T) relative to those matched adjacent non-tumor tissues (N) via microarray. Methods A microarray with 33,045 lncRNA probes and 30,215 mRNA...
