Abstract

Aim: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous disease in pathogenesis and response to therapy. Nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway has a major role in the elimination of genotoxic effects of chemotherapeutic agents. We aimed to clarify the effects of selected variants of XPD, XPC, ERCC5 and ERCC1 genes on the outcomes of induction therapy. Materials & methods: The prevalence of NER genetic variants was evaluated in 67 subjects with AML and their effects on clinical outcomes were analyzed by χ2 test. Results: The XPD 751 Lys variant was associated with improved response to chemotherapy compared with XPD 751 Gln and Lys/Gln variants (p = 0.023; odds ratio: 4.5; 95% CI: 1.14-17.73). There were no associations between other genotypes and any outcomes. Conclusion: Current findings suggest that XPD Lys751Gln variant could be considered as a prognostic factor in AML. © 2019 Future Medicine Ltd.
