Methods： Genotypes were determined by the PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism （PCR-RFLP） method in 310 histologically-confirmed lung cancer cases and 341 age and sex frequency-matched cancer-free controls. Results： The XPA A23G genotype frequencies were 27.1% （AA）, 42.9% （AG）, and 30.0% （GG） in case patients and21.1% （AA）, 5218% （AG）, and 26.1% （C-G） in control subjects. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that individuals carrying at least one 23G variant allele （AG ＋ GG genotypes） had a significantly decreased risk for lung cancer （adjusted OR = 0.66; 95 % CI = 0.44- 0.98） compared with the wild-type genotype （23AA）. Stratified analysis showed that the protective effect was more evident in subjects with a family history of cancer. Conclusion： These results suggest that the XPA A23G polymorphism may have a role in lung cancer susceptibility in this study population.展开更多
