BACKGROUND: Nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) frequently exhibits genomic instability, such as high fractional allelic loss (FAL). Genomic instability may result from unrepaired or misrepaired double-strand breaks (DSBs). The authors of this report postulated that polymorphisms in genes of the nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathway, which is the major DSB repair pathway in mammalian cells, may modulate lung cancer susceptibility and prognosis. METHODS: Patients with NSCLC (n = 152) and a group of appropriate age-matched and sex-matched controls (n = 162) were subjected to genotype analysis of the NHEJ pathway genes x-ray repair complementing defective repair in Chinese hamster cells 6 (Ku70) (reference single nucleotide polymorphism number [rs] 2267437), x-ray repair complementing defective repair in Chinese hamster cells 5 (Ku80) (rs3835), x-ray repair complementing defective repair in Chinese hamster cells 4 (XPCC4) (rs1805377), and DNA ligase IV (LIG4) (rs1805388). The gene-gene interaction (joint effect), genotype-environmental (ie, smoking) correlation, and genotype-phenotype (ie, FAL) correlation were examined. The Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank tests were used to assess the prognostic effect. RESULTS: There was a significant association between the XPCC4 and LIG4 genotypes with NSCLC risk in an analysis of individual polymorphism associations, and the risk of NSCLC increased further in a combined analysis of multiple polymorphisms (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 8.74). The patients who had a homozygous variant guanine/guanine genotype of the XRCC4 gene had a poorer prognosis compared with other patients (P = .015). There was a significant difference between the patient smokers and controls for XPCC4 (adjusted OR, 2.67) and LIG4 (adjusted OR, 2.04). In addition, polymorphisms in XPCC4 and LIG4 were linked significantly with patients who had high FAL (adjusted OR, 2.03-3.84). CONCLUSIONS: To the authors' knowledge, this is the first nested case-control study to demonstrate a significant association between the polymorphisms of genes in the NHEJ pathway and lung cancer susceptibility and prognosis. The results may be useful for risk assessment and disease monitoring of patients with NSCLC. Cancer 2009;115:293948. (C) 2009 American Cancer Society.
