Abstract

Genetic predisposition without doubt is one of the risk factors of cancer initiation. It is known that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of genes that maintain the genome stability, including SNP of DNA repair, may contribute to the initiation of carcinogenesis. Single-nucleotide polymorphisms of genes that support genome stability, including SNP of DNA repair genes, can contribute to cancer initiation. Polymorphism of the excision repair gene OGG1 causes interest of leading scientific groups from various countries. It is assumed that there is relationship between the rs1052133 polymorphism in the gene and predisposition to cancer initiation. The objective of this study was to establish association between rs1052133 polymorphism of base excision repair gene OGG1 and the risk of cancer initiation in people chronically exposed to ionizing radiation. Residents (888 people) of the Techa riverside settlements, chronically exposed to low or medium radiation from the Techa River and the East-Urals Radioactive Trace were included in the study. The study allowed researchers to establish that exposed to chronic radiation people, carriers of the rs1052133*G allele have increased risk of malignant neoplasms initiation: OR=1.38; 95% CI [1.05-1.83], p=0.023. The multifactorial synergistic interactions between the dose to the red bone marrow and the rs1052133 polymorphism of the OGG1 gene was found: Testing Balanced Accuracy (TBA)=0.56; Cross Validation Consistency (CVC)=10/10; p=0.01). The study found that the rs1052133 polymorphism may be considered as genetical marker of risk of cancer initiation in people, chronically exposed to radiation with doses ranged from 0.74 to 3507.07 mGy (average 523.10+-33.89 mGy). It was found that the presence of the rs1052133*G in combination with radiation exposure can modify the risk of solid cancers initiation, as it is indicated by the synergistic relationship between the SNP and the radiation dose.
