Polymorphisms of nucleotide excision repair genes predict melanoma survival.

Li, Chunying; Yin, Ming; Wang, Li-E; Amos, Christopher I; Zhu, Dakai; Lee, Jeffrey E; Gershenwald, Jeffrey E; ... (9 authors) (The Journal of investigative dermatology, 2013-07)

Melanoma is the most highly malignant skin cancer, and nucleotide excision repair (NER) is involved in melanoma susceptibility. In this analysis of 1,042 melanoma patients, we evaluated whether genetic variants of NER genes ...

Association between a rare novel TP53 variant (rs78378222) and melanoma, squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck and lung cancer susceptibility in non-Hispanic Whites.

Guan, Xiaoxiang; Wang, Li-E; Liu, Zhensheng; Sturgis, Erich M; Wei, Qingyi (Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2013-07)

Recently, several studies have investigated the association between a newly reported rare functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in TP53 (rs78378222) and cancer risk, but generated inconsistent findings. The present ...

Genetic variants in fanconi anemia pathway genes BRCA2 and FANCA predict melanoma survival.

Yin, Jieyun; Liu, Hongliang; Liu, Zhensheng; Wang, Li-E; Chen, Wei V; Zhu, Dakai; Amos, Christopher I; ... (10 authors) (The Journal of investigative dermatology, 2015-02)

Cutaneous melanoma (CM) is the most lethal skin cancer. The Fanconi anemia (FA) pathway involved in DNA crosslink repair may affect CM susceptibility and prognosis. Using data derived from published genome-wide association ...

Association between single nucleotide polymorphisms in ERCC4 and risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck.

Yu, Hongping; Liu, Zhensheng; Huang, Yu-Jing; Yin, Ming; Wang, Li-E; Wei, Qingyi (PloS one, 2012-01)

Excision repair cross-complementation group 4 gene (ERCC4/XPF) plays an important role in nucleotide excision repair and participates in removal of DNA interstrand cross-links and DNA double-strand breaks. Single nucleotide ...
