Abstract

We evaluated the association between the XPD exon 10 Asp312Asn and exon 23 Lys751Gln polymorphisms and the risk of pancreatic cancer in a hospital-based study of 344 patients and 386 controls frequency matched by age, gender, and race. Stratified analyses showed ever smokers carrying the Asn312Asn genotype had a significantly reduced risk when compared with those carrying the 312Asp allele (OR=0.46, 95% confidence interval 0.24-0.88) (P for interaction=0.03). The 312Asp-751Gln was identified as the putative at risk haplotype. Our study shows that the XPD gene polymorphism could be a genetic risk modifier for smoking-related pancreatic cancer.
