However, the same group 4 years later failed to
repeat their previous data on the association between rs861539 and
cancer risk or G(2) chromosomal radiosensitivity.30 Meta-analysis19,31
studies concluded that this SNP might have not been associated with
lung cancer risk. However, our current study demonstrated that
XRCC3 rs861537 was associated with an increased risk of NSCLC,
whereas the minor allele carriers of XRCC3 rs1799794 were inversely
associated with NSCLC risk.
