Article Abstract
The study aimed at evaluating the influence of MTHFR 677C>T and NQO1 609C>T polymorphisms in toxicity and response to chemotherapy in breast cancer patients. These two genes are involved in the folate homeostasis and bioactivation of chemotherapeutic drugs, respectively. In this study, 243 patients treated with FEC/FAC/methotrexate chemotherapy regimen were recruited and followed up for toxicity (NCI-CTCAE ver. 3). While out of 243 patients, 115 patients who received neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) were followed for treatment response. Genetic analysis of MTHFR 677C>T and NQO1 609C>T was done by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism. We found significant association of variant genotype (TT) of NQO1 609C>T with grade 2-4 toxicity [OR 0.33 (0.13-0.88), P = 0.027] and with grade 2-4 anemia [OR 0.34 (0.12-0.95), P = 0.041]. However, no association of MTHFR 677C>T was seen with either response to NACT or drug-induced toxicity. The study provides useful information for prediction of clinical outcomes in breast cancer patients in terms of NQO1 609C>T by evaluating its association with chemotherapy-induced toxicity.

Most cancer deaths are related to gastrointestinal (GI) cancers. Several environmental and genetic factors are effective in the occurrence of GI cancers, such as esophageal, stomach, colorectal, liver, and pancreatic cancers. In addition to risk factors related to lifestyle, reactive oxygen species (ROS) also play a role in GI cancers, and an increase in the amount of free radicals can lead to oxidative stress and increase the probability of malignancies.

The risk of cervical cancer is caused by persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. Cervical cancer is the most frequent cancer among women. Our purpose was to investigate the association between TP53 215C>G (Pro72Arg), MDM2 -410T>G, and NQO1 609C>T gene polymorphisms with a high HPV load and the inf luence of gene-gene interactions on prolonged HPV infection.

Background: The quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) gene was involved in the pathophysiological process of illicit drugs abuse, and its polymorphisms might be associated with methamphetamine (METH) dependence susceptibility. The purpose of this study was to examine the NQO1 mRNA and protein levels and to analyze the 609C/T polymorphism (rs1800566) between METH-dependent patients and controls.
Methods: A total of 392 METH-dependent patients (cases) and 669 healthy controls (controls) were enrolled in the study.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common malignancies in Poland. Based on the findings of clinical trials, it is safe to conclude that genetic predisposition and environmental factors are the main factors responsible for the formation of colorectal cancer.The NQO1 gene plays an important role in reducing endogenous and exogenous quinones as well as quinone compounds to hydroquinones.

Article Synopsis
- A study examined the relationship between specific gene polymorphisms (rs4025935, rs1695, rs71748309, rs1800566) in GSTM1, GSTT1, and NQO1 genes and the risk of developing classical Ph-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms in a Caucasian population from the Vyatka region of Russia.
- The findings revealed that the NQO1*609T allele, certain NQO1*609T genotypes, and a homozygous deletion (null) allele of the GSTT1 gene are significantly associated with an increased risk of these neoplasms, with various odds ratios indicating potential risk factors.
- Conversely, no
