To identify the effect of hOGG1 methylation, Ser326Cys polymorphism and their interactions on the risk of coal-borne arsenicosis, 113 coal-borne arsenicosis subjects and 55 reference subjects were recruited. Urinary arsenic contents were analyzed with ICP-MS. hOGG1 methylation and Ser326Cys polymorphism was measured by mehtylation-specific PCR and restriction fragment length polymorphism PCR in PBLCs, respectively. The results showed that the prevalence of methylated hOGG1 and variation genotype (326 Ser/Cys & 326 Cys/Cys) were increased with raised levels of urinary arsenic in arsenicosis subjects. Increased prevalence of methylated hOGG1 and variation genotype were associated with raised risk of arsenicosis. Moreover, the results revealed that variant genotype might increase the susceptibility to hOGG1 methylation. The interactions of methylated hOGG1 and variation genotype were also found to contribute to increased risk of arsenicosis. Taken together, hOGG1 hypermethylation, hOGG1 variants and their interactions might be potential biomarkers for evaluating risk of coal-borne arsenicosis.
