    • Evidence from a small number of studies suggests that longer telomere length measured in peripheral leukocytes is associated with an increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). However, these studies may be biased by reverse causation, confounded by unmeasured environmental exposures and might miss time points for which prospective telomere measurement would best reveal a relationship between telomere length and NHL risk. We performed an analysis of genetically inferred telomere length and NHL risk in a study of 10 102 NHL cases of the four most common B-cell histologic types and 9562 controls using a genetic risk score (GRS) comprising nine telomere length-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms. This approach uses existing genotype data and estimates telomere length by weighing the number of telomere length-associated variant alleles an individual carries with the published change in kb of telomere length. The analysis of the telomere length GRS resulted in an association between longer telomere length and increased NHL risk [four B-cell histologic types combined; odds ratio (OR) = 1.49, 95% CI 1.22-1.82, P-value = 8.5 x 10(-5)]. Subtype-specific analyses indicated that chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) was the principal NHL subtype contributing to this association (OR = 2.60, 95% CI 1.93-3.51, P-value = 4.0 x 10(-10)). Significant interactions were observed across strata of sex for CLL/SLL and marginal zone lymphoma subtypes as well as age for the follicular lymphoma subtype. Our results indicate that a genetic background that favors longer telomere length may increase NHL risk, particularly risk of CLL/SLL, and are consistent with earlier studies relating longer telomere length with increased NHL risk.

  • Carcinogen-DNA Adducts
  • 2019. - Third Edition
  • Ingår i: Encyclopedia of Cancer. - 9780128124857 ; , s. 282-295
  • Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Carcinogen-DNA adducts result from the covalent interaction of electrophilic chemical carcinogens with nucleophilic sites in DNA. Some highly reactive genotoxic carcinogens are capable of directly binding to DNA but most carcinogens require metabolic activation. DNA adducts, if not repaired, can lead to mutations, and mutations in critical genes are a characteristic feature of tumors. Thus DNA adduct formation is considered a critical step in the initiation of carcinogenesis. DNA adducts formed in human tissues can be detected by a variety of sensitive techniques including 32P-postlabeling, mass spectrometry, accelerator mass spectrometry, and immunoassays. Their detection and characterization in human tissues can provide clues on the etiology of human cancer.
