Polymorphisms in double-strand DNA repair gene XRCC2 may play an important role in colorectal cancer (CRC) etiology, specifically in disease subtypes. Associations of XRCC2 variants and CRC were investigated by tumor site and tumor instability status in a four-center collaboration including three U.K. case-control studies (Sheffield, Leeds, Dundee) and a U.S. case-control study of cases from high-risk Utah pedigrees (total: 1,252 cases, 1,422 controls). The 14 variants studied were tagging-SNPs selected from HapMap/NIEHS data, supplemented with SNPs identified from sequencing of 125 cases chosen to represent multiple CRC groups (familial, metastatic disease, and tumor subsite). Monte Carlo significance testing using Genie software provided valid meta analyses of the total resource that includes family-based data. Similar to reports of CRC and other cancer sites, the rs3218536 R188H allele was not associated with increased risk. However, we observed a novel, highly significant association of a common SNP, rs3218499G>C, with increased risk of rectal tumors (OR 2.1, 95%CI 1.3-3.3; pchisq. =0.0006) versus controls, with the largest risk found for female rectal cases (OR 3.1, 95%CI 1.6-6.1; pchisq. =0.0006). This difference was significantly different to that for proximal and distal colon cancers (pchisq. =0.02). Our investigation supports a role for XRCC2 in CRC tumorigenesis, conferring susceptibility to rectal tumors.
