PurposeCisplatin kills tumor cells through DNA cross linking. Alterations in the function of DNA repair genes may affect DNA repair proficiency and influence cancer patients' response to cisplatin. We studied whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of DNA repair genes predict the response to cisplatin or prognosis in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN).MethodsA polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) approach was used to determine the frequency of the SNPs: XPD-Asp312Asn, XPD-Lys751Gln, ERCC1-C8092A, and XRCC1-Arg399Gln in DNA from peripheral lymphocytes of 103 stage IV SCCHN patients.ResultsThe frequencies of the distinct genotypes were, respectively, for the homozygous common allele, heterozygous and homozygous polymorphic variant: 53%, 40%, and 7% for ERCC1; 50%, 42%, and 8% for XPD-312; 35%, 57%, and 8% for XPD751; and 35%, 51%, and 13% for XRCC1. Patients with only common alleles at all the SNPs tested had a median overall survival of 5.1 months (range, 4.3 to 6.0 months) as compared with not reached for patients with at least one polymorphic variant (P
