Alterations in DNA repair gene have been shown to cause a reduction in host DNA repair capacity and may influence host susceptibility to carcinogenesis. The double strand break (DSB) repair is a major DNA-repair pathway. This study tested the hypothesis that common sequence variants of the DSB pathway genes predispose susceptible individuals to increased risk of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Towards this end, we evaluated the associations of 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in 10 candidate genes involved in the DSB pathway with RCC risk in a population-based case-control study that included 326 Caucasian RCC patients and 335 controls. Using the homozygous wild-type as the reference group, we observed a significantly increased RCC risk associated with the homozygous variant genotype of NBS1 (rs1805794; OR 2.13; 95% confidence interval (95% CI), 1.17-3.86). Carrying of at least one copy of the variant XRCC4 allele was also associated with a significantly increased risk (rs1805377; OR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.08 - 2.26). Importantly, in pathway analysis, compared with the reference group (≤1 adverse alleles), individuals with 2 (OR: 1.26; 95% CI: 0.83-1.91), 3 (OR: 1.00; 95% CI: 0.64-1.56) and more than 3 adverse alleles (OR: 1.75; 95% CI: 1.03-2.98) were at increased risk of RCC with significant association in subjects carrying more than 3 adverse alleles. Results from this study provide evidence that individuals with a higher number of genetic variations in the DBS repair pathway are at an increased risk for RCC. These findings require further validation in independent populations.
