Summary: One of the main risk factors for developing primary open-angle glaucoma are oxidative DNA damage caused by reactive oxygen species. Base excision repair is the crucial pathway responsible for removing oxidative DNA damage. However, recent reports suggest that nucleotide excision repair may also play important role in eliminating oxidative DNA lesions. In this study, we focused on two main proteins – XPD and XPC. It is suggested that presence of the 751Lys/Gln XPD and 939Lys/Gln XPC genes polymorphism may lead to decrease DNA repair capacity.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of the 751Lys/Gln XPD and 939 Lys/Gln XPC genes polymorphisms in the pathogenesis of primary open-angle glaucoma. 100 patients with primary open-angle glaucoma and 100 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. The analysis of the studied genes polymorphic variants were performed by PCR-RFLP. Additionally, it was analyzed the role of studied genes in progression of primary open angle glaucoma in relation to clinical parameters.
In presented research, we indicated the role of the 751 Lys/Gln XPD gene polymorphism in the increased risk of primary open angle glaucoma development (OR 1.93; 95% CI 1.09–3.90; p = 0.02). Moreover, we suggested the role of XPC gene polymorphism in the decrease risk of primary open angle glaucoma development (OR 0.13; 95% CI 0.024–0.91; p = 0.04) for 939 Lys/Gln genotype and (OR 0.31; 95% CI 0.09–0.99; p = 0.04) for 939Gln/Gln genotype. Therefore, we postulate the role of nucleotide excision repair in primary open-angle glaucoma development.
