X-ray repair cross-complementary 5 (XRCC5) and 6 (XRCC6) are critical for DNA repair. Few studies have assessed their association with breast cancer risk, and related gene-environment interactions remain poorly understood. This study aimed to determine the influence of XRCC5/6 polymorphisms on breast cancer risk, and their interactions with cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and sleep satisfaction.
The study included 1039 patients with breast cancer and 1040 controls. Four single-nucleotide polymorphisms of XRCC5 and two of XRCC6 were genotyped. Information about smoking, alcohol consumption, and sleep satisfaction was collected through questionnaires. Odds ratios (OR) and related 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were assessed using unconditional logistic regression models. Gene-environment interactions were analyzed using logistic regression with multiplicative interaction models.
XRCC5 rs16855458 was associated with increased breast cancer risk in the co-dominant (p = 0.003) and dominant (CA + AA vs. CC, OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.07-1.56, p = 0.008) genetic models after Bonferroni correction. The CG + GG genotype of XRCC6 rs2267437 was associated with an increased risk of estrogen receptor-negative/progesterone receptor-negative (ER-/PR-) breast cancer (CG + GG vs. CC: OR = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.12-2.13, p = 0.008) after Bonferroni correction. Moreover, an antagonistic interaction between XRCC5 rs16855458 and alcohol consumption (p = 0.017), and a synergistic interaction between XRCC6 rs2267437 and sleep satisfaction were associated with breast cancer risk (p = 0.0497). However, these interactions became insignificant after Bonferroni correction.
XRCC5 rs16855458 was associated with breast cancer risk, and XRCC6 rs2267437 was associated with the risk of ER-/PR- breast cancer. Breast cancer risk associated with XRCC5 and XRCC6 polymorphisms might vary according to alcohol consumption and sleep satisfaction, respectively, and merit further investigation.
X 射线修复交叉互补基因 5(XRCC5)和 6(XRCC6)对于 DNA 修复至关重要。很少有研究评估它们与乳腺癌风险的关系,相关的基因-环境相互作用仍知之甚少。本研究旨在确定 XRCC5/6 多态性对乳腺癌风险的影响,以及它们与吸烟、饮酒和睡眠满意度的相互作用。
本研究纳入了 1039 例乳腺癌患者和 1040 例对照。对 XRCC5 的 4 个单核苷酸多态性和 XRCC6 的 2 个单核苷酸多态性进行了基因分型。通过问卷收集了吸烟、饮酒和睡眠满意度的信息。采用非条件 logistic 回归模型评估比值比(OR)及其相关 95%置信区间(95%CI)。采用具有乘法交互作用模型的 logistic 回归分析基因-环境相互作用。
经过 Bonferroni 校正后,XRCC5 rs16855458 的共显性(p=0.003)和显性(CA+AA 与 CC,OR=1.29,95%CI=1.07-1.56,p=0.008)遗传模型与乳腺癌风险增加相关。XRCC6 rs2267437 的 CG+GG 基因型与雌激素受体阴性/孕激素受体阴性(ER-/PR-)乳腺癌风险增加相关(CG+GG 与 CC:OR=1.54,95%CI=1.12-2.13,p=0.008)。此外,XRCC5 rs16855458 与饮酒之间存在拮抗交互作用(p=0.017),XRCC6 rs2267437 与睡眠满意度之间存在协同交互作用(p=0.0497),与乳腺癌风险相关。然而,经过 Bonferroni 校正后,这些相互作用变得不显著。
XRCC5 rs16855458 与乳腺癌风险相关,XRCC6 rs2267437 与 ER-/PR-乳腺癌风险相关。XRCC5 和 XRCC6 多态性与乳腺癌风险相关的可能性分别取决于饮酒和睡眠满意度,值得进一步研究。
