Özet
Background. Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. Genetic risk factors associated with breast cancer incidence
have been identified. Aims. This study is aimed at determining the association of XRCC3 Thr241Met (rs861539), XRCC4 G
(-1394) T (rs6869366) DNA repair and BAX G(-248) A (rs4645878), and BCL2 C(-938) A (rs2279115) apoptotic gene
polymorphisms with breast cancer. Materials and Methods. Genetic analysis was performed using peripheral blood samples.
Gene polymorphisms were detected by using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP)
technique. 175 patients and 158 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. Results. Breast cancer risk was 5.43 times more in
individuals with AA genotype of Bax G(-248) A (rs4645878) (P = 0:002). The risk of metastasis was 11 times with this genotype.
It was associated with 6 times more risk of having a tumor larger than 2 cm. The risk of breast cancer was 2.77 times more in
individuals carrying the Met/Met genotype of XRCC3 Thr241Met (rs861539) (P = 0:009). The risk of having advanced clinical
stage (stage III+IV) with the Met/Met genotype was 4 times more increased. No relationship with breast cancer was found with
XRCC4 G(-1394) T (rs6869366) and BCL2 C(-938) A (rs2279115) gene polymorphisms. Conclusion. Multicenter trials using
subjects with genetic variations are needed to establish the relationship between breast cancer and single gene polymorphism.
